Is this a good idea???

Heres the deal... RIGHT NOW i have a red 88 RS with gold ground effects and black louvers on it... I want to take the louvers off and paint the car black with white headlight pockets and possibly a black racing stripe... do you think that would look good or not???

A black racing stripe on a black car would be sort of retarded. I also don't like the white headlight bucket idea, but whatever floats your boat I spose.

I'll have to go with Jim on the pockets, but I think the stripes will look good. I prefer the heritage ones myself, but that's me. There's a pic of one on this board under the heading "new paint job" I think.
