"I" vote no on the stripes and clear tails.

Clear lenses, no.

Give the hood and the cowl panel a shot of black primer.

The cleaner and more simple looking, the better IMO.

You have a vert so there is no reasonable approach to getting rid of the black top. Keep silver paint (it looks great and repainting with the same color is safe and easy). I personally like the black stripe with light color combinations but I am obviously biased

My guess is you have black interior....... Get yourself some nice silver 5 spoke rims. Not a fan of the ones you posted a pic of but you are starting in the right place. I like the older tail lights but if you must replace them, get the new style LX or some smoke ones. I have smoke headlights and I really like them. Everything on my ride is bright white or glossy black.

A four eye vert with clean sliver and black everywhere is sexy as hell IMO. Yeah I like solid colors too but when it comes to light colors.....the black stripe catches the eye.

Then it comes down to how to do the stripes, if i were to do them. I sort of like the look of the stripes not going down the whole bumper, like this one...



But then on hte back, if i have a spoiler of some sort, would you go like this?


I was also thinking that if the stripes were like this, to put a sort of pin stripe thing around them like the other pic.

I dunno man. Cowl hoods are tough to look good with racing stripes. I like the way the spoiler looks in those pictures.....But if your car were mine - I'd go with satin black on the cowl only and alsoon the headlight bezels like USMC did in his example.

His example looks good but if you want a stipe going front to back I'd consider painting the wholecowl black.....maybe a black spoiler??? Kinda 80's.....But then again so are louvers!

I've seen some two toned jobs that look plain sick. Not sure if that's your taste though.

Here's what mine looks like. I don't really care for them anymore but I still get lots of compliments.

i wouldnt go with the stripes i dont really like them to begin with but i definetly dont think the go well with verts, he dont look right with the top up. i like the idea about the black around the four eyes, kinda like the 93-97(?) cameros. no sure about the black on side of the cowl i guess id have to see it
