looks great, love the color. But i agree with the stripes.. could stand to be fattened up by about an inch, or moved in closer together.. overall, looks great!

I Agree with what some others have said, paint looks great but get the stripes a little fatter, and i dont like how the are square on the the ends, I like it like on the Hertiages where they are rounded off

I agree. Maybe if you curve them to go with the lines on the hood. Otherwise it's damn sexy. Is it pearl?

I like the silver/black combo, but as was said before, the stripes aren't doing it for me either. Too narrow and too far apart.
