Anybody seen anything like this?
I'm wanting to paint my black t/a with some hood stripes, but don't like the plain ones or the ones that just follow the hood lines. I had an old Z28 with a killer paint job (but it was a 1979) and wanted to bring it up again with my third gen bird....what opinions do you guys have on it (and gals...sorry
) I just found this pic and paintshopped it just to get an idea....I'll post the hood part as soon as I find the disc it's on.......

>Oh YEAH! CustomX has a side stripe that works good with his car. Red and black. Looks great.

so you're saying you like it or what?? 
Maybe I'll keep it black, but going to keep the graphix at the bottom, I want it to look stock.......if I'm keeping the silver off, that is!

What is it with you guys putting bowling trophies around your car? LMAO!!!!!!
Just kidding.
I think the stripes might look cool, but it's hard to say.
You can do what I've done before and instead of using PaintShop, you can print out a few pics of your car and freehand what you want.
One time at band camp... I mean at work
I made about 20 copies of my '94 Z28 and drew up some wild crap. It was fun. Some of it actually looked NEAT?

Dudes, that is what my car is SUPPOSED to look like....that's not my actual car, just a pic I found of one that looked decent for my idea's. My car is in many stages of body repair right now, and I'll prove it once I get Wallyworld to put this roll of film on a disc for me! lol....but I swear, the way I have the hood stripes looks pretty sweet to me, but dang it, can't find the friggin pic anywhere but on my fridge!
Anyway, keep givin opinions, I love it!

hate to double post, but does anyone have pics of WS6 wheels? Show me some, let me know what you're talking about. I have the kind of wheels in the above pic that I posted, and I LOVE em! Going to strip and polish then soon, though.

I have never seen that idea applied to a thirdgen. If you do it, get rid of the TA pinstripes because it will detract from the top scheme. It could look cool, or it could look worse. I'm undecided on this one.

I've always liked having a unique looking ride...here's the 79 Z that I loved, I want the paint job to resemble it....
