Default Stripe Idea Doodle

I was just wondering what everyone thinks about my ideal look for my dakota as far as cosmetics go. I drew this during downtime at work and fell in love with it. You can also partake in how I'd like to paint my headlights but I don't know if it would restrict too much light flow.
Anyways thanks for looking.

I like the headlights. Would the stripe have that gap across the hood or are they complete? Good idea though, mimics the double bar Dodge stripe.

That would not look bad at all. What color is your truck and what color do you want the stripes? Also i think a hood scoop would really complete that agressive look that the racing stripes give you

Thanks for all the positives! I was thinking starting them at the indents on the hood. My truck is silver and I was thinking matte black would do well.

Plasti-dip is your friend here, you can do all those stripes and headlight eyebrows and then see if it looks good or not. If not you can just peel it off, no harm done.
The best part is the black plasti-dip is matte.

It looks great by the way go for it.

I wouldn't be too worried about headlight restriction, you still have your fog lights
