The stripe

Well I was washin my car and I found a lot of rust on the bottom area of the car, in many spots.. same place the ground effects would go.

I am thinking of eliminating the rust (hopefully with a sandblaster) and then painting that area black.

Here are some pics to show what I mean.

This is how things are now..

Last one.. this is a lame photshop showing what it might look like with the stripe.

Image the shine on the black parts near the front, but on the stripe on the bottom..

Opinions?

Black stripe looks good. Silver would be good too.

I think it would look great, especially if after you paint the bottom, you use the stock formula tape line thing to seperate the two, like this; (btw, not mine, but someone else on here)
