GTR Stripe Done... Didn't go with yellow...

I have cutter to thank for the black. Sure am glad he mentioned it in the original thread. Yellow looked pretty bad as you can see it laid out on the hood. Black looks awesome. May add some more striping later. However, wanted to start with the hood. Great - now I'll have even more Camaros' that want to race me - lol.

Looks great!!

Agreed about the yellow stripes. It just doesn’t look menacing . But it did look awfully familiar.

Thanks for the credit.

Looks nice! Maybe yellow pin stripes on each side of the thick black stripe?

My only concern with giving you the credit. Was the possibility of a forthcoming invoice from you - lol.

Not at this time. I'm considering adding it possibly in the future. Not sure it really needs it.

I like the off center stripe on these cars much better than a center stripe.
Gives car a little style with out being over the top!
Good job
