Need opinion on new stripes!

Hey guys, I'm getting tired of how my stripes look and it's always felt like something was "missing" My theme is black with white accents so I've had a few ideas for new stripes...I would like to go with racing stripes on my hood and trunk but I have a few ideas for how they will look. I would just like to know what others think, I'm split between these choices.

Idea 1: The solid part of the stripes have a Carbon Fiber look, with the pinstripe around the stripes in white.
Idea 2: Same thing but instead of Carbon Fiber just have it flat black.
Idea 3: The whole stripe white.

I kinda want to hood stripe to be between these two (they'll be custom made obviously) The first picture has the shape I want, but is missing the mail slot part of the stripe, the second picture the stripes are too wide looking for my taste but they cover the mail slot.

Last picture is a picture of how my car currently looks. Thanks guys!!

I was seriously about to vote Pic#3

But with the options you have given I would go with a solid color. Mixing three colors (body color, two-toned stripes) would look too busy IMO.

I'd personally dig Pic#1 in a solid CF with CF trim with the mailslot completed...

I would do all CF but with the rims having the white pinstripe and with that being the theme I'm going with I'd feel like it would be just missing too much in the white. I think the pinstripe in white would add that extra I was looking for. But you are right, having 3 different colors could look busy...I guess it's something I'd have to see for myself.

Yeah, I didn't even think about the wheels. Maybe go pic 1 solid white but extended down through the mailslot, it looks dumb not going down all the way.
