Thanks man, Yeah the hood makes the car. I have had this hood on 2 Z06s and get a lot of compliments on it. You can find cheaper hoods but these are quality pieces that fit and finish well.

Love it. Do you plan to do the same over the roof and trunk lid. I think that would look even better. Nice car.

I do have the full set for the top and the back, but I'm going to leave it as is for now. Thanks.

Looks great. All I would do is a black outline around the outside of the stripes.

If you have a good pinstriper in your area I would suggest that you add an accent outline to finish the edges, either a black or charcoal. Otherwise, I like it.
