Default which hood/stripe combo please!!!!

okay, here's the deal. I want to make the car stand out a bit more and I'm not sure which route to go.

1. Sunoco hood with black stripe along the side of the bulge

2. SS hood with black 35th stripes

3. leave it alone and throw more $ at performance parts

I'd go with the Sunoco with the stripe with the color of your car. Sharp looking car by the way.

It's a Dick Harrell special edition Camaro, only a few of them were made. The front bumper is one whole piece, you'd have to buy the whole thing, but I don't know if any companies sell it. It does look great though. I wish I had more pictures of the silver car, maybe some other member with silver cars will post up what they have done.

I'm gonna go with the SS hood. The sunoco is a mean looking hood to me. The wheels you have don't have the "aggressive look" that I like so..SS hood for me. Nice car. Black 35th stripes would look good with the ss hood!

My car is almost identical to yours. Just substitute all black Z06 wheels! I just ordered a VFN Sunoco hood. So you know my vote.

I think you should go with the SS hood and a black manta stripe.
