Heres what mine looked like. I had a vinyl plotter so i just made my own. From what i read they should be 2inches each with a 1 inch gap and that was from a guy measuring his grand sport corvette. Anyone can cut them with just a ruler and an exacto knife. Install is easy just start under the hood on the inside of the fender and roll them downwards the curve isnt enough to give you too many wrinkles or too much trouble.

Not too big a fan of those on any car. But to each their own. Just leave the fender clean IMO.

i think they look good on vette's but on our cars, i think regular stripes look best.

I also have an LT1 WS6. I plan on painting the raised portion of the hood. But just yesterday i was thinking that if i had the base hood, which looks just as good IMO. i would paint everything in between the outter two lines, and have a line mid way down the bumper cut accross to a point. Im sure that sounds pretty confusing. i need to do a PS but i have no skills!
