Camaro SS Hood Stripe Question I can't seem to find a good picture of the hood stripe I'm looking for, and I've searched for a little over an hour.
It's not like the Manta in that it does not cover the TOP part of the scoop. It's a slim stripe that goes on the SIDES of the stock SS scoop and reads "SLP" in small letters.
I'm not aware of a car that came stock with stripes like this, but I've seen pictures of Camaros on here with them.
Any ideas as to where I can source such an animal?

Sweet! Thanks a bunch. On a site, the maker of this stripe mentions Yet nothing is shown in the pics that looks out of the ordinary (to me at least). Any idea what he's talking about?
Well, here it is, the one that I installed and it's jacked up. I'm only selling this because if I don't, someone else will. But it's my duty to talk you out of it. I have an alternate design.
I tried to get some closeups of the 'vinyl rash' so you can see the nature of the problem. This problem may have been present in some of the pics on the website. This will calm down a bit after a couple months of sun, but it will never be perfect. (caveat emptor)

PM sent.
I would have to guess that he means small patches (or a patch) of air bubbles beneath the decal. I have some on my blackbird stripes, but only because I got in a little bit of a hurry. A little patience and a lot of soapy water will go a long way. The sun (or heat in general) will help air pockets go away. Even more so after you put a small pin hole in the affected area. Either way, if you did have something like that happen, you'd probably be the only one to really see it. Everybody else will just see the car and stripes.

Check the sig link for pictures of my "new manta" from 3rd gen decals. Since it sounded like a royal pain to do the full manta I went with the new style. I like it and it's more like the 80's Z's had. I've also seen pictures of 68-69 Camaros that just had stripes on the sides of the cowl hood. That's the look I was going for. That and I didn't want someone to mistake my car for a ZL1.
