Default Hood stripes on daytona turbo hood 86 TA

Did these today real quick trying to get the idea out of my head and something to look at, going to be painting the car soon and this is pretty much what i am thinking, took 5 minutes so it is far from perfect, just finished the 5.3 swap so body work is next, car will be solver, stripes black:

Before:



Now older faded dull but with the black stripes:







I didnt take my time so give me any input on anything you would change.

Thanks, it was really lick finding this hood without the louvers that usually are on it, so it makes it look great, because you are right, it usually doesnt look good, but the slope of the firebird nose also works better than the same hood design on a nearly flat camaro hood.

Thanks, i am not sure how to get it right, never had a hood that lined up like this, they are usually pretty close, this one, not so much, sorry you didnt make it.
