Cool New Idea for my Car....Pic inside

Hey guys....I photoshop'd this picture up of an idea I had for changing the appearance of my car. I put the 35th anniversary rims on as well as a billet grill and a 1968 Yenko style stripe. I have been getting mixed responses from my friends...excluding my friend Jason who threatened to drive up from NC and kick my *** if I did that to my car..

What do you guys think :]?

I'm not good with photoshop...

1) I think the billet grill rocks.
2) I think that the 35th rims rock (though I prefer the 17" SS rims that are the 5 spoke - I think the f1 pkg ones are good)
3) The stripe is nice, sure, and most certainly interesting, I'd photoshop it straight over the hood, like 6" up the hood, because it looks wierd with it not straight.

Otherwise, could you do ME a favor?
Photoshop a mystic teal convertible (I have pics of my car if needed) with an L88 scoop on the hood and that billet grill?

Everything looks great except for the stripe, I'm still unsure if I would do that or not. Otherwise the car looks sweet.

If it were mine I'd drop the grill, (never was a fan of grill inserts) and lowwer the the car an inch or two to get that off road gap out of the fenders. That would make them rims look even better.

lose the yenko stripe and try the hockey stripe instead. (the one that starts at the bottom in front of the front wheel well)

I agree. go with a different strip setup. It looks alright, but I don't like it.
