Default which hood stripe to go with?

I've decided to get the hood only superstripe from BSM. Stripe/installation for $100. Can't decide if I should go with the 14" stripe with 1" pins or the 18" stripe ith 1/2" pins. The firs picture is of the 18" stripes. Thanks.

I like the top one better, looks more like the Mach 1 stripe. Then I am kind of biased as I have a similar stripe on my car.

Yeah, I'm hoping that they can do an 18" stripe with 1/4" pinstripes. I don't like the 1" gap and 1" pin.

Speaking of stripes, I'm going to put the 18" stripe on my car, from the bottom of the front bumper (I have the flat black CS grille opening, obviously), on the scoop, over the roof and all the way to the diffuser in the rear. So, who is the best vendor to get the satin black tape stripes to match the GT/CS side stripes? I priced them in paint and clear coat, but DO NOT want to spend $1200.
