Here is two pics of how i want to paint my hood.
the first one is mine. I like how the white goes all the down to the bottom of the hood and you can see how I brought the black into the fender to flow with the mirrors.

the second one is my dads and this was the first day i bought the car

which one you guys like better??

 

To be brutally honest bro I think both look terrible. Way too ricer for my taste. If anything, just paint the top of the air intake black. Kinda like Tylerls1 did. Sorry if I burst your bubble.

 

Ya that might be overkill dude now that I saw bigger pics. I would just paint the stinger if I was gonnna bring any black into the hood. Just my 2 cents though and its your car

 

Well I wanna do somthing differnt. Cause everybody is doing what Tyler did. Thanks for the input though.

 

Yeah, I mean if you want honest answers, I'll also say both options look pretty poopy. Take it or leave it

Good luck with whatever you do, though!

 

painting the hood like that is just the oposite of doing a manta stripe like tyler has. i dont see many cars with the manta stripe i say do that instead. or you can do like i did and get a hoodscoop filler.

 

Check out the white fbody appearance thread might give you some ideas!

Phill thanks for that link. Are you guys sure you're not just saying that cause it photo shop and mine looks all weird cause I couldn't get the lines streight? Maybe it would be one of those thing that grew on you in the long run. Thanks again for the input, Trust me I'm not taking this in any kind of way personal. If I was going to get mad then I would of never posted it! That's what we are here for, to give advice and to here everyones input.

thanks again.

 

I don't think it's that bad. It's your car man, do what makes you happy and makes you want to drive it.

FWIW, muscle cars had black hoods WAAAAAAAAAY before ricers. So really, it's a homage to muscle cars, not ricers.......

Hey hey thanks mike! I knew I would get atleast one person that likes it.

 

this decal i found for my car is pretty unique i havnt seen another camaro with the outline style and the thin pinstripe it would look sick

 

^^^ls1whip, hey thats the first pic ive seen of your car, its nice. have you had any trouble with your halos, i used to have a set and they had problems lol

 

That is pretty nice bro! Your car looks good, I love those halos. how much did u get them for? And Which style are they?

 

Dam whip your car is lookin good!! I like your hood that looks sick! The other hood thing I like is the 35th anniversary stripes that turn into checkered flags.

 

Yeah I like those to. I was just thinking of maybe doing something like what they did to the 67's like paint a strip going around the front end, but I forgot our noses are like WAYYYYY to big.lol

 

Thanks guys! thoose pics are when i first put my wheels on about 7 months ago but she still looks the same minus a rear seat..and shes a bit louder....

no actually the only problem i had with them is the gap is rather large from the bumper to the light which i dont like but other than that they have been great i bought them for i think about $380 shipped i dont remeber the style they are projectors tho.. the clear and black markers they send with the lights are s*it they leak and blow bulbs... but yeah i cant wait to meet a couple of you guys i havnt met yet this weekend! what about just a all black hood??

 

ya i was looking at your corners too, i had those same exact corners and your right they do nothing but leak and burn bulbs. i used to change a bulb once a week, i did this quite a few times and decided to put the ambers back on.

 

I was goin to get those lights also but since you guys say they leak I probably won't now.lol.
And I was thinking about all black, just thought leaving the white on top would make it pop alittle.

i meen honsetlythe hood is different and if you take your time im sure it will look sweet. just go with your gut bro i remember when i posted pics up of my car in the wheels section people where raggin on my car left and right about how they couldnt belive i bought the z06 wheels with the ungodly "rivits" but i love them lol so hey at the end of they day your the one with the keys drivin it so it dont matta as long as your happy.
