I like striped; it's subtle but still ties the black and silver theme

No stripe, but I'd put an emblem where the stripe is. 350 LT1 or something like that.

Thats beautiful put the stripe on it, really brings the rest of the black out on the car and gives it a finished look.

I kind of like the stripe, but maybe another design. Not so wide in the back maybe. Hell, I don't know.

I'm trying to find this guy on LS1Tech he has a Hugger Orange LT1 with the same hood and nice stripes on and I'm pretty sure they are decals. Thats probably the route I'll go with.
