I wanted something to break up all the yellow. I already have the FR500's on the car, so I added the stripes to go along with the yellow/black theme. Opinions?
Spiced up my hood - opinions?

I'd like to see more angles. I don't really like them from that particular angle, but might like them seeing a bit more directions.
I tend to agree. Also, did you only stripe the hood, or did you carry the theme to the trunk? Personally I would have done both if I did the hood, but that's just me. When I had my Callaway Camaro (painted Corvette Red) I had an SS-style hood. I striped the hood so that the entire scoop was painted black with a thin stripe on either side. The same width stripe was applied to the trunk lid, spoiler and trunk rear. I really liked it. If I can find a picture when I get home I'll post it.
exactly. in that pics it looks like they bow a little bit and aren't as wide as the vents. good idea, but change it as mentioned and I think it would look a lot better. someone had bought a carbon fiber hood that matched the stock hood and painted where you have the stripes black and it looked great.
I think he purposed wanted the stripes to conform to the arch of the recessed vent area. And if the stripe was wider that curve wouldn't be as noticeable, either. JMO.
I would fill in the full recess leading up to the vent and then possibly carry the strips over the roof/trunk (like the gts viper with stripes).
thats one option, or go rice and replace the entire hood with black carbon fiber (no paint) lol.
maybe go with a cobra R hood in yellow with the accented black vents (looks really nice btw).
anyway just some ideas

not to bad, but yeah kinda a funny angle.
I agree with doing the full width of the vents, and carry it over the hood and trunk. I wouldn't go any further forward on the hood though.
More pics please.
Easy guys, its not like I custom designed these suckers. When I ordered them, I thought that they would actually come straight back from the scoops. When I took them out, I had a 'wtf' look on my face. But I went back to the website selling them and noticed the bowed out area. They offer a separate stripe combo to go along with these, but I didn't like them. They were fader strips in front of the scoops.
I think they designed these this way because of the odd lines our hoods follow. I'll try to get some better pics on Friday from different angles. The best part is they come off easy if I grow tired of them.

Waoh those extra stripes on the new pics are not good. Just my opinion, since you asked.
The decals make the hood look like someone has there arms stretched out... looking for a handout....
:lol: :lol:

Poop.
I'd remove the front stripes completely.
I'd remove the "vinyl" all together.
I'd tape off the entire scoop section, and paint it, then clear it. Only way to do something on a $30K+ Car is the right way.
Side Note: JKD Cobra is the gentleman w/the CF Hood, and the centers are C/F, and the rest of the hood black, as is the car.

Those other stripes ARE NOT on my car, those are pictures from graphic-express website. If I painted them on the car, I would have them on there straight back. I just don't like permanently changing the look of the car.
Here are two pics of my old Camaro with the stripes I had painted on. Not a biggie but I thought they were pretty cool. They were clear-coated of course. Had them done when the car was repainted Corvette Red.
