I got the same idea too but those birds with racing stripes I saw before all suck, the angle of the hood just make the racing stripes go wrong, I saw the blue Corvette on Chevroler web site recently and that style may work great on firebird, I will try it once I have time

Yeah I like how that ^^ looks.... It would even work on the goofy 91-92 front.
