in my personal opinion, i think that would look horrible. stripes just aren't meant for every car/hood.


Nothing against the sleek beak though. I'm actually thinking about putting mine back on for a while just to switch it up.

I have to agree with crimson bird. There aren't a whole lot of strips that look good on that hood.

I like bacon strips. Now about stripes.... I think stripes flow better on a ram air hood. On a sleek beek hood I would get the firebird logo.

The 30th anniversary style stripes look good on that hood imo.
