Vinyl wrap on hood or keep stripes?

I'm thinking about wrapping my hood in matte black. I do have stripes on it right now so I was thinking maybe wrap over them so it looks like I have "phantom" stripes under it. What do you guys think?

I wasn't trying to go for the 1le look I just started doing changes and apparently I like the way the 1le's look.

The white one in the pics is mine.

The 'phantom' stripes under the wrap may look cool, and unique. I think you just may have some thing there.

Here is a really quick wrapping job i did to show how you can still see the lines of the stripes under the wrap.

Do the vinyl Wrap. It looks killer on cars where it pops a little.
