#3, but take the side stripe all the way across the hatch, like the Yenko stripes were.

I'm diggin the look of #3, but I'd run the stripe all the way back to the spoiler and then paint the spoiler black. And I'd go ahead and finish the stripe out on the gas door.

Thanks, guys. I'm still not sure which one i'll go with yet. I'm just thankful that none of them got blasted as being ridiculous. I was definitely going for something similar to a Yenko stripe but without looking like i was just copying a 1st gen camaro stripe. I've got a lot of time before my cars ready for paint.

Re: Paint idea, your thoughts?
Yeah, Nate... looks like a toss-up. I like all of them, as they are only slightly different. I don't really want to paint the gfx black. It almost makes them disappear. What are your thoughts on painting the mirrors black? Anybody ever chromed them? I haven't seen any pictures of it, so either nobody has tried it, or it looks too awful to photograph. haha Thanks for your input everybody.
