I'm not big fan of putting stripes on the entire car. Thats something ford does. I prefered the heritage stipes before the 92s came out. Thats why I got mine.

put the stripes on the hood, dont go onto the nose, it looks better when they are just on the hood.

By the way, on the heritage cars and the z's are the headlight pockets painted black or is it just clear coat over the bare plastic?
