Default New hood stripes.

Was gonna do the "manta stripe" but I have yet to see a good one in vinyl and I think it might have been too much. So I had my sign guy make me these....what do you all think? I like!

Is that a sticker on your headlight bezel that says 1873, or is it a photoshop on your pic.

It's a decal, actually on the bumper in front of the headlight...1873 SLP build number.

looks nice, but i agree, it would flow better if it was connected at the rear of the scoop. i have a vinyl manta stripe and it looks just like paint, but the guy installing it did a killer job. i went through 3 of them to get it right
