    Upon reflection, I prefer the first rendition.

    The first render for sure! I've never personally seen that color scheme work until now. Good job.

    Both look good! Personally I love the eyebrow stripes on the Capri fender flares. Especially the early models that don't have the air dam.

    Just my .02 based upon what you can see in the photos. Normally the stripes in the moldings are two thin stripes with the black between them. The picture looks like the entire stripe area is a solid color. Nothing wrong with that, but if you are going with the dual stripe the color in the body side moldings will not be quite so strong, more subdued. That will change the look of the car and possibly make the eyebrow stripes look better.

    Another point about the eyebrow stripes is similar to the moldings stripes. The Eyebrows are two stripes top and bottom with the body color in the open area where the stripes widen out. In the renderings the open space appears a bit small to my eye. The OEM stripes are actually two different colors. Generally a lighter and darker accent color to the body color. So again depending on how to actually do the stripes will determine how much they stand out on the car and exactly how prominent they will be next to the body color and any stripes you add to the body side moldings.

    I don't think there is a right or wrong way to go, its a matter of choice and personal taste. It will look great either way.
