Default long or short hockey stripe on silver Z

Well, a local dent guy fixed the ding in my stock hood for $50...so rather than buy a Sunoco hood, paint it, and blend the fenders, I am going to throw on some black TT2's and a hockey stripe.


here's the problem....

do I go with the short or long hockey stripe in black? The car is silver with a berger panel, black side marker and corner lights, halo's, and billet grille. I like the short stripe better, but I'm not 100% sold on the abrupt curve. I saw one with the slight curve and short stripe, but it almost looked out of place.

Anyone got pics or ideas? I did some searching, but didn't find exactly what I wanted.

Well, around here hockey sticks are hit and miss. Some like 'em and some don't. I had the shorter style on my car at one time because they stopped at the door handles like the old '69's and GMMG cars do but the overall shape or cut of the decal just wasn't quite right.

Hotrod Camaro with stripe; Note how stripe tapers before the 90* than what's on my car.



My old stripe; Overall thicker than GMMG design.

brutalLS1...beautiful car! I love how the curve follows the wheel well opening

Stangkilr...stunning ride, and those are the wheels that I'm going with, but I am just not sure about the abrupt curve that doesn't follow the wheel well...but I think I like the shorter stripe....two bad you can't have the best of both worlds!!!
