Default LT Hood stripes for the ZO6

Finally got the old LT-1 hood stripes on the Z. She feel more like one of the family now.

Great concept, however it does not match the line of the hood, looks a little awkward to me. Just my 2 cents

I just love the look of these "old" Corvettes. Gorgeous lines.

Point taken. Call me old school but for me, I think the Z06 deserves an Engine badge. As you can see, I have always been a fan of the old LT-1 hood decor. over the years I adopted it as a personal signature, even on the higher rise L-88 hoods. It sorta breaks up the height rise of the bigger hood. The Z on the other hand still looks pretty damn good plain without hood accent. In keeping with my desire for uniqueness and my adopted signature I wrestled with various layouts. (even considered the LT4 engine badge by it self}. To your point, the lines of the Z's hood made the pin stripes difficult to incorporate. Tried to put the LT4 badge inside the lines like the old concept but that didn't work. For me, IMHO, this one fit my desires best and still added some Bling to the plain hood. Please don't take this wrong, but "I" just have never been a fan of the big race stripes or cowl cover. Just personal preference.

The LT-1 strips are a cool idea. I also agree with the LT4 engine badge to give the hood a bit more detail......
