Come on people, think OUTSIDE THE BOX once in ahwile

I say something similar to this:



...but in orange.

MAYBE with the side stripe:





Or, if you have to do something easier, do this:



...but in orange (maybe outlined in charcoal) and where it says "HOT ROD" etc... put "LS1TECH" etc...

Or better yet, do something like this quick photochop I did:



It's a mix between traditional dual cowl stripes and the Yenko... The dual stripes round off together at the front and at the back.

For the LS1TECH car I would choose orange for the stripes and have them extend onto the bumper (remove and smoot the "shield emblem)...

If you want I can do a photoshop on a white LS1 with a Sunoco... I just did this quick (used a car with the closest stripe pattern already) to get my idea out there ...

Dont laugh at this last pic, its the only one I could find with the color I was looking for.


I think any of these three colors with a hockey stripe would be sick and wouldnt scream "look at me". It says more of a "what bitch? you know Im a bad ***!".

If we do the vintage/hockey stripe, we will also do the black rear panel treatment too.

Flames are too complicated, and frankly most of us can get very particular around stuff like that. We only want to give the car one week for appearance, and the rest of the time for performance.

I say an 02 ZL1 style orange manta with the orange stripe continuing onto the rear deck and a white roof cap would look best. The Orange racing stripes look killer on the 97 SS but I dont think they look that great on the post 98 body.

Okay fine, no flames.

Since we are doing the Sunoco hood, we should do this design:



Except for our car would be white with hugger orange stripes.

Decides on the hood you end up with. I vote Vintage if you get the sunoco hood and pace car stripes if and SS style hood.
