I think it depends a lot on the color of your car and the color of striping you plan to have done. I think this image (below - looks similar to the first image you've posted) shows hood stripes that have been done well IMO. Also, I think if you can have them painted it'll look a lot better than if it is done with vinyl which has a matte finish and will reflect the light differently from the paint on the body, but I'm not sure how much more expensive that would be, or if that is something concerning to you at all.

My car is red and I'm leaning towards black stripes. I really like the Red&Black combo.
I don't really want to paint my car because it's too expensive and it'll drop the value of the car when I try to sell it.
I'm going to get the job done by these guys who are a master at what they do.

They're literally a 10 minute drive from where I live. They vinyl wrapped a car from the movie "The Wolverine", Jaguar and Audi Australia have also partnered with them for their vinyl wrap options. That definitely tells you something about their workmanship.
I want to get my black stripes in either matte black or satin black (I honestly don't really know the difference). I want to create a contrast between the glossy red and the non-reflective black.
That pattern in my first image (similar to yours) is what I've got in mind at the moment, but I started this thread to see if there're better ideas out there. I personally want something more aggressive looking, but nothing too sophisticated or it'll cost more $$$.
