Color and stripe combo suggestions

[Chip]

Hi all

what do you think would be a good color/stripe combo for a 1968 firebird?
I'm leaning towards hugger orange with white stripes. But the stock stripes of the pontiac don't appeal to me (nasa gilid kasi) and I'm leaning more towards GM stripes (like in the camaro). total same platform naman sila e.
here are pics i could dig up of an almost hugger orange firebird


this has the trans-am stripes (from the 69 model i beleive).

these are the stripes I want



what do you think it wil do for the lines of the car? i don't want the hood scoops to be overpowered by the stripes kasi e.

any photochopping help would be most appreciated

got someone to photochop for me:
now i need help making a decision

trans-am stripes extended all the way to the front


thicker GM stripes


single thick stripe down the middle


i think i want the stripes to extend all the way to the top

what do you guys think of the HO stripes like this one along the side?

The two band racing stripes (ala Shelby) looks more subtle than the single wide one. Sportier accent too

In my artistic opinion don't go for the side stripes because it can kinda overkill and is distracting, taking the attention away from the rear panel brake vents. Besides, you gotta take pride in that superbly done paint job .

Your ride is a dream!

hehe Thats not my car, its just a pic I nicked off the internet but thanks anyway.
But it is very close to what I envision for it
Yeah I am leaning more towards the 2 shelby-ish stripes too.
The single side stripe kasi is what the HO version came out with in that year, just for some purists, or someone who could photochop it onto a solid orange vesion. Youre right, OA na if it goes with the other stripes.

How about two flat black stripes? Just like the one in your Chevy version photo or just a flat black hood with no stripes on a hugger orange color. Hmmm drooooool.
