Stripe ideas for my bird?
I think I'm going to repaint my bird white (instead of the SOM I originally wanted, gonna save that for my 1st gen). When I do this, I'm going to get rid of the lower black portion of my SE and the striping along the bottom. I'm thinking of running an RAI hood and a 4th gen style rear spoiler and going with something like this:

I swear I've seen a car on here before with something similar but can't find it. I think if I do it I'm going to widen it, similar to this:

Have the bird at the top of the bumper and start the stripe on the hood, what do you guys think? I'm kinda thinking the stripe might look weird with the way our hoods "widen" (as far as the creases are concerned) as they go back. Have any other ideas? I loved the 1st gen and 2nd gen bird's that were setup like this and the later anniversary ones looked good (the 94's stripe was too skinny for me but not bad). I don't think dual stripes would go well on the RAI. I originally thought about leaving the SE mostly stock looking on the outside but decided to say screw it, I can't do that (my previous few 3rd gens can attest to that lol). Any opinions would be appreciated.
Here's a picture of my SE as she sits:

Here's a good shot of SweetRide45's formy (beautiful car by the way) with the RAI hood:

Anyone wanna photoshop my idea?

Re: Stripe ideas for my bird?
I think it would look good, I love the "2006 trans am" I had that as my desktop for a while! I would 'chop ot for you, but I don't know how to.

I got a very quick response on it when I needed something 'chopped
Good luck-
