Default Cowl Edge Stripes...

Firstly I'm curious as to how this started, is it like the berger panel, something that was on older camaros or was it invented on the 4th gen?

Also, I'd like to see pics of any year Camaro 93-02 with this done, preferably a closer pic shot from the side and also on an lt1 , I'd like to do it on my hood

pic for reference in case you don't know what I mean:

You may also look at firebirds with the blackbird stripe, its a similar idea and a bit more common to give you a feel of what it would look like with different colors.

i think it's just a 4th gen thing, particularly on the dick harrell cars. the yenko camaros had 2 stripes on the cowl but they were on top so i dunno if u wanna count that as the starting point. if you want to see more pics just type "dick harrell camaro" in google or go to the dick harrell website or gmmg website

thanks, I think I'll go all the way to the end of the cowl, myself. Once I get pics, I'll post my hood in it's mismatched white gelcoat glory. It's a 2.5" traditional style cowl (sharp/square).

Not a fan of cowl hoods in general but I think it would look alright

I'm doing something a little different but no finished pictures yet. I was going to do the same like the dick harrel camaro but i think it will go better this way with the rest of the car.

i would do vinyl simply cuz if you do it and you dont like it as much as you thought you would you can remove it...painting the hood then your stuck unless you wanna pay again to have it repainted...i think "fourth circle designs" has stripes like what you want and their not expensive..lots of colors to choose from

that's not something that 4th gen camaros started. Years ago people started doing this on all the dragsters that had cowl hoods. Eventually they made there way to the 4th gens.

I like that, but that looks like an LS1 hood, are you doing a front end conversion?

And as for vinyls, they only make them for the sunoco hood, there are lots of different hoods out there and I don't think it's one size fits all, even if they are both 2.5". And making your own, I'd imagine it'd be hard for an amateur. I work at a body shop and I wouldn't try.
