Default Stripes w cervinis hood?

Hey guys-

Ive been debating the merits of putting racing stripes on my pony... But I thought Id ask what you all thought would be the best style/width/ etc to go with the Cervinis Type IV hood.

the most common stripe for that hood that I have seen is the stripes across the raised section of the hood, like this. But I personally think this is the hood that looks better without stripes

The Super Snake solid single stripe would work well with that hood.
But if you go with the Le Mans style, the dimensions are typically 10" wide with a 2" gap in the middle.

Wonder how a 10" stripe down the middle of both vents with a 1/4" pin on both sides of both stripes would look.... Of course, white, and covering the whole car.

Personally, I love that style. A teacher last year had a V6 (X charged) with a similar hood to the one pictured, and I convinced him to get the style stripes on the left and they looked great. No pics, sorry.

I prefer the Super Snake stripe on that style hood.
It just flows better in my opinion.

And I do think they would look GREAT on your car.
Matte black is my fav stripe for most of these stangs and it would be
my stripe of choice with that color in a millisecond!
