Sorry, it is my vette so I have decided to put on ...
If you don't like it, please move on ... I did not ask people don't like the stripes to post here.
Thanks!

An opinion of none would probably help you see the light.

Its hard to tell what the difference would look like on the car...I voted no bevel, but I wouldn't put any on my car. Please post a pic when you put some on...

I'm like the others, none of these. If you want stripes, doesn't GM have them to put on the hood? Good luck.

I would choose none of the above but I hope you are happy with whatever choice you make. When are you planning on having them put on? It would be nice to see some pics of the finished product. Good luck with your decision.

I wouldn't put any of the strips on. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What!!! GM hood stripes like this picture? If I like that style, I would have gone with Mike C6 ME stripes which GM copied from. Hope all others don't have the same feeling as you

I liked with bevel...We all personalize our cars to suit us. If we all liked the same thing, there would be no individuality, just "cookie cutter" cars. Go for what YOU like and want!

The nice thing about vinyl stripes is, once he puts them on and doesn't completely like the look, he can pull them off with just a few bucks down the drain. I tried stripes once and I got tired of them after a couple weeks, but they were not as dramatic as the ones proposed here.
