Still searchin'
Like the hockey stripe? That'd be cool to see in grey on a 45th. I've seen it on a silver car in black and it looked great.

Here are my stripes with my newest red additions, G2 Red caliper paint, and some engine cover work. I'm done with the red exterior mods.

I really like the red gills and the red accent on the engine cover. I went with a Yenko type red stripe down the sides that has a 45 in the back and it goes to a bowtie in the front. Here are some pics of the stripe and my engine cover:
