Default hood - body graphics

I want to dress up my '75 with some hood and/or body graphics. The car is all white. I've pretty much made up my mind that I want it done...I'm just not sure what kind of design. I've tried googling corvette graphics and terms like that but I haven't seen anything I liked. I have 2 pictures of cars with something I kinda like. I really like the white car with the blue strip, in fact I like it a lot. but I wanted to see if there is anything out there I like better. Is there some place to go or do any of you have pictures of graphics that might look good on a '75 ?

I like the double stripe better, maybe on a angle?

That first car looks pretty sharp, like a Yenko Stinger Corvair. I have a guitar with the same stripe configuration. The double stripes look good on a Ford GT-40. I don't know how they'd look on a Corvette. You may also want to look at Grand Sport Corvettes, especially the 1996 C4, which were all blue with a white stripe. There are several C3 "Grand Sport" homages out there, even though GM never released one. Even just the two hashes on the front left fender would set your car apart, and be easy to reverse if you use vinyl stickers.

Graphics go from mild to wild you just need a good imagination.
I put these on my hood.

Have you thought about pin striping the car?

Sell out to "the man".

Local Corvette advertising shower installations.

On topic, I like the first picture posted. I think you should also take a look at ideas that aren't strip based but rather lines highlighting curves or bumps on the Corvette since it has such a evocative shape.

Edit: Can't get link to work sorry, but there is a car near me wrapped in cartoons of a superhero who goes around selling new showers to people.

Wow, that's some wrap effort! Some of those guys do pretty good work for sure. I've had the local guy here do my wife's SS and my DD and there are some really good options for designs.

Blue on white is always a good combo.
