Stripes

ok guys im getting a strip kit from Houseofgrafx.com and i dont know what size i should get either 6in, 8in, or 10in. I am getting one of those in a gloss black also with the pin strips on the outside. What do you guys think i should get? My dad says i should go 10in, my brother says 8in, i say 6in but also looking at it is the 6in gonna be 2 small? Let me know what you guys think and if you can post some pics of your stripes and there size. THANKS!!

I just don't like the full body stripes but it's not my car so I'm not gonna complain. I get complimented and criticized for my stripes all the time but I like them.

You can go 2 ways, Full of Win or Full of Fail and I've yet to see a Cobalt with "Full of Win" stripes including my own fender stripes.

I kinda hate them now because I can't leave work early or un-noticed because my car is so "identifiable" (Active Duty Military)

I don't know why but when I first looked at that picture I thought I saw a Monte Carlo SS, anyways yea, I think 8" with a 2" gap would look good.
