Im not big on the phrase but the stripes would look good. +1 for the stripes on the cowl to match, or a ss hood with black manta.

Don't care for the stripe, but I really like the rest of the car.

I think it accentuates the back of the car. Makes it look wider.

Like he said, ditch the words and put some strips on the side of the hood. That would look good.

I like the look of the stripes. Never seen any like that before on a Camaro and I like it when I see guys doing original appearance stuff.

I take my Z28 out of hibernation in April, and I have a VFN Sunoco Hood and ZR1's going on. Its cool to see other people with similar ideas.

As for the stripes I like them but the words "Z rated Camaro" are kind of tacky. The stripe itself looks good though.

Nah get rid of them. If they didn't say anything it'd be a lot nicer IMO. It seems like too much wording for that space.

I think the stripe was okay. I know it was a riff on the "Dick Harrell" stripe, including the font, but I think the text was killing it. I think one FAT stripe down the center of the cowl then continued onto the rear deck and spoiler would be sweet. Black, or course.
