buddy what does you not liking stripes have to do with this thread? i need to know if its been done or will i be the first to do this with my car. If i can get away with using the kit from 3rdgengraphics was a template im going to would be alot easier then masking it all off

thanks for offer but i have the hood already and would hate to waste 225 dollars for the stripes if they wont work. im better off with fine-line then just be nice to know if the kit will work. saves alot of masking and error with tape

why not paint a copy of the stripes so they fit on the hood? this is of course if you just bought the hood and it doesnt have paint yet?

call vfn and ask them if the 3in ss manta is any wider that the stock ss scoop

if not they should work - no problem

that is the plan, use the stripe kit as the stencil kit. so you spray the color of stripes lay the stripes. then spray the other color and peel up the stripes and whola you have stripes
