If you were to use a "single" stripe down the center, I wouldn't call that a "Shelby" stripe. That would be more like the stripe that was offered from the factory on the 1964 Barracuda.

Even though the hood strakes present a problem when trying to apply over the top stripes on "any" Crossfire, I fully agree the SRT-6's extra design element (aka THE WING) offeres up a huge stumbling block to deal with.
I would never tell anybody not to try something if that's a certain "look" they're going for. But if stripes are what you want, I think they may come out looking better on a "Non-SRT". IMO.
The stripes made the Boss 302 Mustang. It was a signature that I'll never forget.
