Default stripe down top of car

I'm installing a stripe down the top of my car. It's a double stripe one fat on skinny like the ones on the BMW's in the movie Mr a& Mrs Smith. I have the wing spoiler on the back. I'm not sure what part to strip on the trunk. The wing itself or the under the wing on the trunk. I'm thinking under the wing cause I want it to go down the hatch to meet the bumper. Any suggestion would be greatful. I'm working on some Photoshop pictures to decide. I suck at Photoshop, lol

Thanks, jjp

How about both? Tough choice, sure would be nice to see each variation in PS before deciding.

My suggestion (having done this b4) is to keep the strip on the spoiler. Think of the spoiler as a raised extension of the body of the car. You can still have the rest of the stripe go down the hatch part in the back, but I think you want the stripe to be seen on the spoiler so it flows continuously from front to back.

I would say dont put in anywhere on the top of the hatch. Put in on the spoiler and then run it down the rear of the car. I think what bcnu702 said makes sense.

I have to agree with bcnu. On the spoiler it is.
Have to wait until the weather gets warmer, but will post picks when done.

Thanks, jjp

Will post pics as soon as it warms up, may be a few months. Don't think I want to install in below 0 temps.
