i like 3 the best out of those. Just not with the white strip on there. It would look good in person

I kinda like #4 the best. It seems to incorporate the natural flow of the car. I would just move it back a tiny bit so you're not splitting the gas lid.

I like number 1 and number 4, obviously without the white stripe. One of those would look pretty cool.

I agree, they are certainly different. Sorry but not my cup of tea.

Do it! Just dont do the sameold flames and skulls its sooooooooooooooooooo overdone. Go to a good pinstripe shop and they will be able to photochop a really good image and paint pallet so you get exactly what you want colors shades etc etc- good luck

I've had good luck separating red/black with a 1/8" pin stripe...white won't look right, but silver works. Just ask Chip Foose!

Seeing that you asked, it does not agree with my senses.
I have a feeling that after you do that, you will regret it.
You can even try it out with vinyl... good luck.

It's your car but it wouldn't get any admiring glances from me. Seems like it really ruins the cars look and doesn't belong on a vette. Agree with the "Holly Batman" comment. Sorry

Sometimes less is more.
