yeah that one would be much easier to install than one like mine. my suggestion would be to get the hood painted if you want a full manta. also, that grille looks like a wings west to me as well.

Ha! That's funny, I designed that hood stripe design two years ago as the Manta stripe is such a biotch to install. I didn't know if Jay was still selling them or not.

My friend wanted their white car with a Red ZL-1 stripe but even the seller could not get the manta on their car w/o looking like shat. So I came up with the "New Manta" which is a take-off of Steve's car but the stripe runs off the back of the hood to match up with the single wide ZL-1 rear stripe. This stripe is very easy to install BTW. It was installed for pictures and then quickly replaced with Red Paint as he still wanted the full SS hood scoop red like the origional Manta stripe.

As for the grille it is just the stock black GM factory turd filled in and painted white. Doesn't look too bad for $10 in paint and filler. It has since been replaced with a SLP SS grille that has been painted white and looks much better than the GM factory piece.
