3rdgendecals
little update-
i got ahold of Jay of 3rdgendecals and placed my order on his website. was painless. i then texted him with the phone number he has listed to confirm my order as he asked. he replied back asap. i ordered my stuff on monday afternoon and got it friday afternoon. everything printed on 3M vinyl and even came packaged well in a 3M box with install tool.
i ordered from him bc i didn't see many companies offer the 35th anniversary striping that ended by the headlights and didn't go all the way down the front bumper bc i always thought that was stupid looking and others i have seen with it where all chipped up or scratched from hitting something.
i still need to install them as i got them today. i will make anther update how that goes once done since there isnt much info out on 3rdgendecals.

got them installed-
i do NOT recommend these stripes from 3rdgendecals. they are VERY thin. whatever he uses to cut them isn't good either bc some of the finishing cuts are not right and have overlapping and after sitting in the sun for a few days the little vinyl that connects the square checked flag parts are starting to pull apart and leaving little gaps. the hood decals are longer then he has shown in his pictures so instead of stopping at 3/4 on top of the front bumper they go all the way to end on the top. if it was a 1/8 of inch longer they wouldn't have fit and there been no way to fix that.
i honestly want to remove them. if they get any worse i wont have a choice.

I've used them multiple times in the past and never had an issue. Have you installed vinyl stripes in the past? The first time I did I butchered the install (my fault). The second couple sets were easy. If you properly lined them up prior to install you should have noticed any ill fitting before hand.
Post up some pics. This could be a quality issue (that'd suck if they went downhill), but it could also be an install issue.
Not sure if you've owned your car since new, but if not be sure that you're dealing with OEM parts.. aftermarket hoods generally fit at least a bit off compared to stock which could change things up
