Stripe idea.....
Okay, despite my questionable choice of exhaust tips....
I have a stripe idea to run by ya'll. It'll be two very wide stripes in Pewter with a wee bit of black added so it's subtle. I couldn't modify these pics with the tight pinstripe that would be on the outside, nor could I make the drop-shadow flames that would be on the hood. But you can see the placement. Plus the rear stripe would round out into the valance.
I know I didn't get them exactly centered here but.....
Good idea? Si....no?

The hood flames would be much more intricate than shown here....fo sho...
Remember....pics....and/or modified pics never look as good as in person.
Thanks for responding.....

I love the gray on gray, I'm big on subtle too, that double stripe looks more like what's used on a Mustang though. There is a car somewhere on the site that has gray on gray flames and it looks excellent but I would go with one or the other not both. Either way still very distinctive!

Just not doing it for me. Sorry. Stripes are too wide IMO and not wild about the design of the front ones. But, they are different and if you like them, that's all that really matters.

I like the shade of gray on gray. I suggest either a little wider space between the stripes or no space & a narrower 1 piece stripe. Just my opinion but loose the "flames". Either flames or stripes but not both. Again just my opinion.

Just remember that you should be looking for ideas from other members not what to do to your car. Do what you like, otherwise you won't ever be happy. Its what you think of the car not everyone else.
For my .02 not a huge fan of the flames on the strips, kinda ricey for me. but I like the middle void in the stripe

I like the Ghost stripe but I'm not too much a fan of the "HEBREW" look of the flames!
But I really do like the Ghost stripes!
Thanks,Matt

Yes on the stripes, NO on the flames, I feel the stripes would have to go all the way down the front to look best.

Yes, you got the same stripes as someone on my website but it is really hard to see that car in person
Also, vettestripes.com can change his stripes a little bit to your taste or make it diff with others ...
I would go with something proven looking super
BTW, unless you paint those stripes since the rear stripes would not work for the rear bumper if you go too wide ...
I would not paint that
***Contact him and tell him your idea and he will try to get it fit on your car
