The one stripe that really matters is the one you pick.Then show us what you like for your choice. Your first idea is probably your best pic.

I think the first one would look best. I understand where some people may not like the point but I think it brings the front together a little more. The hood is actually slightly tappered in as it moves towards the front so the stripe will have to be tappered in. Actually if you look at my car in my sig you can see how it tappers. If I just put regualar rally sripes on it it would not go well with the lines and not look good. The hood also comes to a point at the tip of the hood. I took those two elements--the tappering and the point at the hood--and put them together.

The saleen 302 car has a nice stripe I am just looking for something a little more unique. I like it a lot it just is a little too boxy. It actually is very similar to mine as it also moves to a point at the tip of the hood it is just not as exaggerated as mine. I think the point makes it look a little more badass, esspecially on a black car. Also, besides the point in the front, the three stripes down the rest of the car make it look like the supersnake stripes which I think are sick as hell. I would run those stripes throughout the whole car except, like I said before, the hood tappers in. If you have seen steve saleen's 25th anniversary car (not the sms/techco one) it has similar stripes except a lot wider and go all teh way down the hood. Looks pretty good except Im not sure how that would look on a black car and the stripe seems a little wide to me. But it kinda has the same idea as mine.

And the stripe would end at the trunk of the car just like the 25th anniversary car. Stripes going over the bumper dont look good imo. It ends abruptly at the exhaust tips and going over the SALEEN letters wont look good either. Also the rear taillight panel will break the stripe up if it continued over the bumper and that would look weird.

oh and also those pics are photoshopped so they stand out a lot more since they are so dark in the pic against the ligher shadows on the hood. Flat black on gloss black is more suddle
