Man, everybody wants to put stripes on the good scoop, but nobody cares about the bad scoop......it's not the scoops fault that it's bad, that's just how it was made........


Keep the shiny side up!

those aren't stripes, they are spears and they are on the cold air induction hood. They came on the 78 silver anniversary edition. Yes, they are very cool

If you want real stripes, just google Research In Motion who did paint jobs if memory serves of a stripe down the center of the hood, over the top then a wide stripe around the rear end of the late 60 models with the flared, flat rear ends which I really like. Should be able to find them on google images pretty quickly.

Here's a pic of mine shortly after I installed them.
I had a real buggar of a time lining them up.
Ended up using string lines to get them right.

I designed these and had a local sign shop cut them from vinyl.

Nice. I think I'll go with something like that rather than the others in this thread. I really would like to keep the L-82 badges on the cowl hoold.

Not to hash up old threads, does anyone know where to find these any more? I dont see them on ebay. Or does anyone have a template that I can have a local decal shop cut out for me?

The ones on Ebay, are they universal for all years? I see some listed for the C-4 and C-5, but none mention the C-3..
