What do ya think of this paint combo?

Has anyone seem a Third Gen Camaro painted up like a Viper, Blue with the White racing stripes? If so how did it look? Or if someone is good with photoshop could you make one up and post it? I'm really interested in doing this to my 89 IROC when I get it repainted here in about 2 months. I'm also thinking about adding a ASCD SS hood to it at the same time. Please let me know what you think of this idea.

Thanks for thinking of my car guys! Too bad the hood louvers on my car never show up in pictures, they look great in person. As to IROC350TPI's request though... my car isn't Viper blue, and I don't have Viper style stripes. Here are a couple of pics of Stephen Cranford's RS which might be more what he is looking for (had them stored on my hard drive, couldn't find the original source unfortunately):

Thanks guys. The pictures that Blue502 are more what I'm looking for. If you guys find anymore pictures post them for me. I'm interested in seeing them all.

not to brag or anything but i have a "viper blue" '92 firebird with racing stripes.... also, my grandfather OWNS a dodge viper GTS that is blue with the white racing stripes... our cars look similiar but i just thought i'd say that.... also, most graphic shops can put stripes on your car for around $140 on average... I got mine for 100 tho

I don't like viper blue on thirdgen's, it's too dark or something. I saw a trans am at the track painted viper blue. It didn't have any stripes or anything, I think if it had some it might not look too bad, but without I hate it.
