I also have a Sunoco I almost put on my 35th but it went on my Z28 instead.
Does a Replica corvette wheel designed after the 35th LE wheel qualify for the same? I never thought of it that way.
Sorry lrry but I think your way off base on this. They are just stripes plain and simple.

Lets keep this thread about the stripes and hood, not about lrry's opinion. Keep it on target.

e.


And here I was in a thread on a forum asking for for peoples opinions and someone tells me not to state my opinion on the subject. Not only that but you state your opinion in your post
I have never went off topic about the LE stripes but thank you for your concern.

I guess I missed the part where you were attempting to help the OP by posting some pictures of your car with a sunoco hood and stripes.

The OP wasn't asking for your opinion on putting stripes on, he was asking how gunmetal stripes would look with a sunoco hood. If I'm not mistaken you provided YOUR OPINION on 35th stripes on non 35th cars. You missed the mark my friend. Don't try to argue about it either. Just drop it.

I agree with many here that you do things to YOUR car that gives YOU satisfaction and enjoyment. Remember that the road to failure is trying to please everyone.
