Racing Stripes

I've been lookin to get my car repainted and I'm thinking I would like to put racing stripes on before they put on the clearcoat. My only problem is I can't decide on the layout I wanna use and i have kind of an odd car. The main problem I have is that my hood is from an 82 pace car and the hood vents get narrower as they go forward. Now I like the hood and I don't wanna get rid of it so I guess I'll work around it so I was wondering if anyone on the forum here had any photoshop experience and could take a picture of my car and draw on some stripes in a couple of different patterns so I could decide which one looks better. What would even be better is if any of you have a red and black sport coupe with stripes and you could post some pictures of your ride. I know its a long-shot but I thought I may as well ask.

My ideas for stripes are:
1. Start at the front of the vents and go up over the car till about 2 inches from the back of the car (or spoiler if I can find one)
2. Go all the way over the car in two continuous stripes that get wider when they hit the hood vents.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
