id say spread them out to the edge of the lid and the shroud so they match the stripes going on the exterior (position wise). also get a set of frc's and continue the stripes on them. dont think they really flow as they stand right now imho

the stripes are too wide for the lid. narrow the stripes up some and it should look better.

good idea, just do a little tweaking on the size and spacing. i think they should be a tad narrower, and further apart. i like the idea about continuing them down the FRC's if you have some.

I think it would look better black.

What bow-tie do you have on the grille?

HEy thanks, Thats what i needed. as for moving them, they are painted on with vinyl pinstriping on the sides.. I really think I will go with all black with silver Z emblems...Appreciate it very much.. AS for the grille emblem, its off of a 73 Chevelle!
