85TA + ZR1 wheels. stripes or no stripes ?



with half the hood wetsanded with my luck I'll never get to finish sanding the rest of the car

anybody thinks two black stripes on the hood would look good ? (stripes that gets wider as they go further back, like the 30th anniversary TA stripes , maybe even with the little birds infront).

I like stripes,

But with your car and the Ram air I hood, I would stay with a solid color. You car looks good. Just paint it all over with the color you decide. The hood looks good on your car and dosent need anything.

Just my .02 cents.

hey thanks for the photochop I'm at work and couldn't try it myself.

looks good except the side stripes , lol , but I'm starting to like the hood stripes. I'll have to try them in black when I get home and continue them on the roof and rear decklid.

I like the black stripes... now, just make the ZR1's black, then make the blue part Chrysler Platinum and it'll look similar to what I want mine to look like some day. Very cool!

I think silver stripes to match the silver wheels would look great too!

hehe you must be really bored but thanks for all the photoshops

that last one is just nasty (not your work , the color choice , LOL ) but I think I like the one before a lot.

I would have to paint the spoiler blue so the black stripes could be on top of it

now you got me thinking....

thanks again.
