I absolutely love my blackbird stripes and I get a ton of compliments on them. Really sets the car apart. I have black side emblems to compliment my black stripes. I always told myself I'd love to have a black ws6 and make it a reverse theme of my current car. Go for it!

i think it would look great, but i think you should check the fit for your hood. it seems like all of the cars i see with those stripes have them on ws6 hoods. but i could be wrong.

Do it for sure!!! It looks 100X better, and really sets the car off from others, its not like your custom bumper doesnt do that already, but still haha

IIRC he cut it all out himself. Along with the shaved license plate cover.

Do the blackbird stripes. Get them in gunmetal or flat black.

Im sure that you would be able to use the normal stripe kit as the LS1 WS6 guys use. To my knowledge, there is no blackbird stripe set that is made specifically for that hood. The area where the stripes would go on your hood isnt that different from stock. Each stripe had extra material on the end you had to cut off anyway. The only issue I would see is at the front where each scoop starts. It wouldnt be too hard to cut the front edge of the stripes to match the shape of the hood scoops. Im sure since you did that good of work to your front bumper, this would be no problem.
