Not as tacky as I thought it would be. Maybe because it's on the WS.6 hood. Who knows, not bad at all though.

I don't have a problem with it. It dosen't look any more out of place than the "Berger" panel or "hockey stick" stripes do on 4th gen Camaros. Plenty of people doing that. In addition to some retro, gold wheels that have been mentioned, I'd do some gold, contour pinstriping. That would really set it off. Good job man.

Those look OK on some second gen T/A's but not very good on 4th gens. Actually I think they were a little gaudy on 2nd gens too. As long as you like it that is all that matters

I could never get away with that myself (though I would love to have the blue/black one on my white car) but yours turned out well, from the pics.

What do you guys think?
I like it. It looks like mine.
