That stripe along the beltline really clashes with the natural curves of the front fender and rear quarter that define this car. I suppose I can get down with the wrap around the front clip…but that beltline isn’t working for me.

…but if you like it…then :tup:

I’m with Mike on this one. Doesn’t look right to me. Although, I just really liked the clean look of your car before so I may be biased.

Ehh…the beauty of your car is it’s simplicity, I sincerely mean that, and I think the added stripes are too much. It looks fine, just more than it needs. But again, opinions are like assholes, so if you like it man, that’s all that matters.

This is what he means by the '69s having the reverse stripe:

I like the reverse stripe too.

Another thing that may be swaying our opinion is how shitty the pic Pauly posted is.
