Just my HO, but I think the car looks great as it is.
finish my stripes or take them off and make roof black?
few months ago i got stripes but only got roof/trunk/hood done cus i couldn't spend enough to go all the way down to the bumpers.
talking with my vinyl guy and hoping june 9th i can finsh off the stripes.
another thing i was thinking though was taking off the stripes and getting a big piece of vinyl and making the roof black. i notice making the roof black isn't a very popular mod, but i think it looks pretty cool, though considering i already spent couple hundred to get the stripes i dont want to just throw them away. also he said he may not be able to do the roof so if i wanted a black roof i would have to get it repainted which i really don't want to know - otherwise maybe i could TRY to do the roof myself, but im the guy who can't even put up vinyl signs up on a store window...
which do you guys think i should do? this will probably be my final mod as far as aesthetics go, because i want to keep the beautiful simplicity of the car's styling rather than turning it into a Christmas tree or some kind of automobile abomination.
also is the spacing on my stripes ok? 1 person told me they are too far apart and its been bugging me lol, otherwise i think it looks nice and classic...do you think if i bring the stripes all the way down it would be a game changer?
how it is now:

black roof, not my color and its the newer s197, but closest one i could find cus the others had all kinds of louvers and scoops that were too distracting.

OP:
I think the car looks nice right now, if you extended the stripes to cover the bumpers as well it would look good as well.
I took your original photo and added stripes in photoshop (rough one):

If your were going to do the roof in black I would do the hood as well.
