Re: Stinger Hood On C3 (Chris Butchart)
I've seen several on a couple C3's and it didn't look bad while others really stuck out like a sore thumb. I think they look better on mid-years, but that's only my opinion. I MUCH rather the stock BB hood or the L88 hood. :yesnod:

I think that to someone with a trained Corvette eye, it would look very much out of place and unappreciated. Try to ignore the fact that the hood is "supposed to be" on a mid-year and realize that stinger hoods are cool and look pretty sharp on a Shark. Unless, of course, you tried that and still :U! :lol:

I only had a mini-Stinger on a previous Vette - ignore the color scheme....

Re: Stinger Hood On C3 (Fevre)
Chris,
Looks good, as on 79ers. As you can see I opted for the L88 look. I wanted to keep it within the shark era. Just be prepared for comments. Pos. & Neg. I get ones from... That looks awsome, where did you get the hood? To... why did you do that to a vette? Good Luck, L8TER, Paul.
