Lightbulb Need your Opinions!!!

Hey guys, I'm looking to get your opinions on what you think will look best for the stripes on my Dad's car ('73 Camaro in sig). We're having white stripes painted on it soon, probably within the next month. The car will basically end up looking like this car (more pics here).

*OUR DILEMMA IS*:

How should we end the stripes on the rear spoiler??? Straight finish, or rounded finish??

Check out THIS PIC I fab'd up to compare!

So what do you guys think? Have them finish on the spoiler with the rounded ends? Or have them end straight off the spoiler??

We're undecided right now, so let's see what you guys prefer .

You guys are saying straight finish, but the poll is 5-0 in favor of the rounded. Anyways in the picture you posted I would definately go with the rounded, because it appears you will have the rounded in the front if you are basing it on that other Camaro. The straight finish I think only looks good on Viper style stripes where you can't really see the beginning or end of the stripes. So with what you are going for I would definately go with the rounded.

*So far*, 11 votes for rounded, no votes for straight except 2 verbals.

My dad just stopped by the body shop earlier tonight.........likely going to be about 3 - 4 weeks 'til we get this done, so still lots of time to decide.

I still can't pick a favourite?! I think I prefer rounded ends 'cause they look more "finished", but I think I'll be happy either way!

.........Keep the votes coming!

Go with the rounded. The straight just seems to stop for no reason. Kind of like
