Default Help me find this hood stripe!!

I am trying to find the single hood stripe that is on the owner of LS1 Speeds Camaro. I know his is painted, but I have seen this hood stripe before. Who makes the single stripe that cover just the SS scoop?? There are just too many black SS Camaro's in this town....I want to stand out in the crowd, though I whoop them all on a regular basis, and have the loudest exhaust of any LS1 in Nebraska. Its just one more thing to make my car "POP".

Here is thier project cars pic
Who makes a decal version of that hood stripe????

Thanks, but that just isnt quite it. That's a stripe that runs around the scoop. I am going to talk to a paint shop, and get an estimate. Atleast having it painted means I can choose whatever color I want. Maybe some sort of really cool silver or red custom paint.

Thanks for the link...it may be what I go with depending on what a paint shop wants.

Sorry, that is exactly what I want!....but he may have convinced me to NOT do it. Atleast he gives you two stickers and a good warning that it may not look perfect.
To paint or to stick....that is the question.
