What Kind Of Stripes?

Well, I'm getting the paint and body done on my car, the guy said he's throw in some stripes too for free if I wanted them, but wasn't sure if there'd be some really cool ones....
I'm going for midnight blue, and I think white or silver stripes of some kind would look pretty good. It'll have 92 ground effects and bumpers, a hi rise (or ducktail but I'm leaning for hi rise) wing, and an '82Z hood. Any ideas anybody?

i would get some herritage stripes. in my opinion, these stripes fit our cars the best. everything will come together with your ground effects. i think glossy white stripes would look good with midnight blue

I have herritage stripes on my car with 91-92 ground effects, this is just to give you a preview of how your car might look with the h-stripes, i hope you make the right decision!

heritage stripes would look good. Otherwise no stripes Nothing like a nice plain jane car. You'd have to paint the indents in that Z28 hood though

it'll have 92 gfx as well.... I like the 92 hood with the heritage stripes that get bigger with the inserts, but am wondering if that'll look good on a '82 hood.... hmmmm, tough call here.
I also like that blue you got there, what's it called?

here is another view of some heritage stripes if it helps.....i would agree that these are the way to go, since the scoops on your hood are really close together, and the heritage stripes have the smallest gap between them of any other ive seen

my paint color is teal mixed with blue. The appearance of the color changes depending on light.
