Default Sunoco hood painted and stripes applied...

Custom made stripes by Fourth Circle Design are INCREDIBLE! They are black with a silver outline that matches my Z06 rims PERFECTLY

346 emblems I got off of ebay (as individual numbers for like $2 each). They are a chrome plastic (same thing as the SLP emblems you see a lot of).

No links to either so don't ask, just enjoy and covet

Car was dirty (just installed the stripes) but here you go:



















...more to come.

Glad to see you got the hood painted. I love it.....all but the stripes. Sorry, that silver around the black stands out terribly.

Looks great man! The stripes are a little off on the drivers side towards the front, but other than that it looks perfect.

I also really like the "346" on the sides of the cowl, I think I've seen that somewhere before...

Stands out WAYYY more in these pics due to the reflective nature of the vinyl I guess... In person it matches the hue of the rims.

They definetly are not for everyone but the car is just for me so it's ok

Looks great man. Shawn at Fourth Circle is in our local club and does some really nice fitting stuff. I'm probably going to do something similar to your hood stripes if I go with the sunoco hood...little thinner on the outline though

I would have maybe gone a little thinner as well in hindsight but you never know untill you see something...

Speaking of Shawn, he got these cut and out in like a day's notice before he left for a week, SHAWN FRIGGIN ROCKS !!!!
