I actually saw the stripes laid out only on the hood roof and trunk... i never saw it for the spoiler... i actually like how they ended it there i dont think it would look right on that to bring it below that lip... unless tey stripped the complete underside of the spoiler.... but that would look weird

Well I see what you mean, BUT I was not trying to replicate an SS, I just love the ay the hood and spoiler look, I still kept the Z28 emblems of course.... have you though about the freedom design spoiler at all? the Z28 spoiler, even though it came stock on the Z28's is so boring and subtle IMO....you are not posing at all if you get an SS spoiler....IMO
To be completely honest, I don't like how it just stops under the spoiler and on the hood. Doesn't look as good as it could've, IMO. Nice combo though otherwise.
**** IF you buy an SS spoiler, buy a real one. I can tell you from my Z28 ( use to have an SS ) that the aftermarket spoilers fit like crap.

I didnt ean to cll u liek a poser... just to many people get a z28 n ****.. buy a hood spoiler an then throw the ss badges on it... like cmon now seriously.... that ridiculous... as far as yers goes.. u swapt out for ss ****.. but u still have the z28 emblens... which i respect u for that cause most guys would be like oh i got an ss now... let me chage badges... i love the ss hood... and over tie ive grown to like my cowl more... so i did it more to just be different... thats why i made the stripes that wide and **** in the back over the lights and crap... its more so to be different...
99 camaro ss... what u meean ...? how i ended it on the nose and trunk? where as compared top running them all the way down like ls1camaroguys? that was another issue i couldnt decide wether i wanted it all the way down nose and back or to stop on nose.. and reason for that is.. its a daily driver... for now... until i save some cash... and to have the blue all the way down... i think would be asking for me to shoot myself.. cuz after a year of the nose n hood painted(maroon) the paint on the nose was shot... so i kinda figured ending the there would be best to hide flaws on the nose....

^^yeah good thinking on ending the paint where the headlights are. my front stripes have some road abuse on them (been painted on there for about 1 1/2 years now, but once I wash it and throw some wax on they still look close to new.....
to be honest, I actually wanted to get a Sunoco hood for my car over an SS hood, BUT about 2 years before that I had a terrible experience with an aftermarket SS spoiler that I had to return, so from that point until now I have sworn to use OEM body components just because of the better fit and quality. Although, if I damage my SS hood now or in the near future, I will probably go with the Sunoco hood......and your cowl hood looks damn good too. It reminds me of the 60's Camaros with the cowls and the similar painted stripes....
