Default Which of these two hood stripes look best to you >

I don't know if I even really want to install hood stripes on my GS, but here is a couple designs I would like your opinion on:

My car is not red, and black is more than likely not the color stripes I would use .... were just talking about the design only

Which of the two looks best to you? .... or are both not that great?

The second one looks better, but I am personally not a fan of stripes on the C6. To each their own of course.

I have seen them on a friends car and they look good. This is not for me however. I might also add they were difficult to put on

Neither but if I had to choose I would take the 2nd. The first looks like it came from Corvette Mods.

I paid Vettestripes to install mine. Didn't even want to attempt to do it myself.

There from 'Vettestripes' which is located in Dallas.

BTW ... The 2nd photo was actually a copy of the 1st photo, except I modified the 2nd photo using the 'Paint' program.

Well..I'm sure that many of you have been anxiously waiting for Ward Cleaver to weigh in with the definitive answer.

Although I prefer no stripes on a C6, given a choice between these two pictures, I would give the nod to picture #1.


Regards,
-Ward

I sure have been waiting ...

... and, has the 'Beaver' started High School yet?

Give my regards to June ... I have always been a little 'hot' for her; if you know what I mean.

It would probably help if we knew what color your car is and what color stripes you were thinking about getting as that would play into how the stripes might look.

With that being said, I think the second one it better.

Ok ... My car is Supersonic Blue (SSB)

I was thinking metallic charcoal hood stripes .... Something that would not stand out too much. Something very subtle.
