Bonnet Stripe Advice

Hi, I have a Hyper Blue Metallic MCS and the lacquer on the bonnet scoop has started to peel. So I have 3 options, paint the scoop the original color, paint the scoop white or have new viper stripes and run them over the scoop. What do you think will look better?

Personally, I'm not a fan of the all white scoop. I like the stripes running over it the same as the rest of the car (pic 3), so that's what I would go with.

I'd have to agree that the third pic is the classiest.

First pattern looks odd. Second pattern looks horrible over the front grill pieces.

Option 3 but the first one doesn't look so bad.
