Stripes on SS Hood....
I'm thinking about putting "ghost stripes" on my car. Only problem, it has the SS hood and I'm not 100% sure how I want to go about laying them. Pictures would be great!

Re: Stripes on SS Hood....
Personally I would make them the same size as the stock heritage stripes not including the extra part of the rise. Looks like the guy I posted a pic of's car did it that way.

Re: Stripes on SS Hood....
You could do them like the factory did on the 30th Anniversary Camaro SS.

I'm not a fan of the way they did it, but its an option. I would have stopped them at the scoop front and the just along the front "points", kinda like bigdavesiroc on his BB hood.

Re: Stripes on SS Hood....
You might have been thinking I meant a single stripe not dual stripes.....I meant this CRUDE PS I whipped up, to kinda show what I meant.

Still dual stripes, but staying at the edges of the SS scoop.

Re: Stripes on SS Hood....
you might just be better of not putting any stripes on your car and just blackening the headlight buckets. you car looks clean and you still have the decals. you might have too much going on with it if you put a stripe or 2 on it.
