Very nice, I bought a similar set for my 79, I am painting it yellow and think the black stripe will look great. Got mine from MidAmerica

I just sent a message to the aution site to see if they can make them with the Stingray script like the fender emblem, I'll post if I get an answer.

Let me know.

Now that I got the stripe and got rid of the L82 emblem on the hood, I would like to either airbrush or get decals for the fender and nose emblems. Anyone know if they make decals for those as well?

I'd be interested in a set of white "Stingray" decals myself.....

Yours doesn't have the Chevy bowtie - the photo of theirs (the one that worked!) has it in addition to the L82....you've sold me on them - I want a set in silver.
