Default Opinions on stripes

My wife and I recently purchased a 2011 Grabber Blue Base V-6. It doesn't have any stripes currently. We want to put white stripes on it but are having a tough time deciding between the dual stripes that go over the hood, roof & trunk and the "C" stripe on the side. Our question is, would it look okay if we had both?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Try looking at multiple stripes on the car at this site. You can pick the color and model of your car and the type and color of the stripes you might put on it. You can at least get an idea of how it will look:

I wouldn't do both. Do one then see if you still want the other.

Personally, I find the over-the-top to be more dramatic. And for GB color, I like to stripes that come up to about an inch from the front edge and about 10" wide.

I've found a number of the aftermarket C-side-stripes to be incorrect. The new Boss got them right. And since the contrast is so great between the GB and white, a narrow strip of white doesn't look right to my eye.
