Default Stripes

Do you guys think a C5 Z with stripes can look as good as a Stang or Viper with them ? Anyone here with a pic of a full two stripes or? that run bottom of bumper to the other bottom like the other two cars I mentioned ? And yes I have seen the vette stripe site pics many many times. But have never seen a pic of a C5 Z with really bold, full length,in your face stripes. "Photoshop" perhaps, anyone?

IMO bottom of bumper stripes don't look good on a C5, but the other ones do.

Maybe it would look good with an aftermarket front bumper, but not with the stock one. Just my opinion.
