Stripes on a SS hood

I just need some opinions/pics here, I think racing stripes on 3rd gens look awesome. Well, I just bought a new SS hood, and kind of wanted to get stripes, but I don't know how that would look.

Do any of you have pics or seen what that would look like? Any info would be appreciated. My car is in the paint shop now.

Re: Stripes on a SS hood

I say do the stripes but only paint them on the raised portion of the hood i.e. Manta stripes.
