Photoshop users please help!

I'm thinking about a stripe design for the panel.
I like this 2010 Yenko Camaro concept stripe.
Wondering if anyone can show me what that would look like. Only the side stripe. Thinking the color of the wheels to give it a almost ghost effect, or maybe gloss or satin black. Would like opinions there.
I can take better or different pics of my car, but I couldn't find straight side shot of Camaro.
May do hood also, just not sure.

David






And a few of the panel.

An alternative that doesn't wrap around, but restores the rear of the Yenko stripe while also bringing a hint of '57 Bel Air:

Very cool, good job. I especially like how it wraps around the rear.

Now I know who to contact with any PhotoShop inquiries...haha!

Great work! Can you make with pinstriped outline like the classic Yenko stripe but without making it fatter and could you throw a black version up?

Wrapping it around seemed logical.

Unfortunately, we don't have fender flares per se, so there isn't really a place to bring it forward of the front wheel as I originally drew it (see the small bit of stripe above the Camaro's front side marker). If the stripe were lower and/or raked more steeply, it could be brought forward under the front bumper to hit the fog light flare, however that's a detail I bet most people wouldn't even notice.

And I'm only somewhat competent with Photoshop... I can still do more with 7 than these new-fangled CS versions.

Yea yea, there we go. Liking that. Do you want to tackle the hood too? I'll get you a pic if so.
