New Paint Idea

I was just messing around with HOK paint ideas and came up with this concept. It is a partial hockey stripe influenced by the c4 vette front end. I'll probably wrap the paint on front chin spoiler then up the hood to sunoco hood. What do you all think? Feel free to edit and develop.

Re: New Paint Idea

Nice clean look.I am partial to custom as long as its not tacky and fits the overall theme of the car.

Re: New Paint Idea

I like it, but would change the lines a little. Maybee thin out the line towards the end of the car.

Re: New Paint Idea

It's not bad--it looks a lot better than the usual hockey stripes we see.
