Looks good but how come the stripes are almost straight edge? Were they painted on as well?

Also are they upside down for anyone else? Lol

I like the color, I don't like the stripes though, especially how they appear to go straight across on the front.

It's the sharp turn that they make by the hood scoop that's throwing me off. Traditionally, that's supposed to be a sloping curve that follows the lines of the hood scoop, but kudos to the OP for doing something different. It's just not my flavor personally. Otherwise, I think the car looks great

Not sure what he uses, but I have the Borla tips on my car, and I use Simple Green to keep the insides clean

As in you could get a better set of them like a Manta stripe, or even a teardrop for the inner spot.

Seems like a lot of people don't like that plain stripe(me included), the only model they ever look good on to me is a regular base/Z28 hood with rally stripes in that style. It just doesn't 'fit' an SS hood to me.

But it's done, and it's different so if you're happy with it then that's all that matters. Car looks great.
