Repainting soon, What color?? I'm thinking black again!

So I just finished my 350 swap in my 90' firebird. I had wrecked the front end so they are mismatched colors. Hood from yellow Formula and Fenders from a red Trans-Am. We have come to call it the Transformulabird lol. Anyway just wanting to get some ideas for paint jobs. I was thinking all black with some ghosted racing stripes. What do yu guys think??

Not a formula hood. Looks like a chopped up trans am hood since it has vents. Get a real formula hood with power buldge and get tid of the spoiler for a areo spoiler. Black it out, lower it down and some torq thrust 2 wheels.

Sorry didn't mean to put formula. I don't like the formula hoods, and the aero spoilers are ugly as hell IMO.

I say paint it black. If you do ghost stripes do not go overboard and do them right so that only seen if in the right light.
I think black with some ghost work on the hood only. With what you have I almost think less might be better.
