AZ Desert,
Can't afford an E-body unless I liquidate something. Not like I have an oil well.

That is accurate. My car is original, and did not come with performance hood stripes via my fender tag. SO..I like the look, I didn't want to shell out serious money to repaint the cowl, fenders, and hood. And when I sell her, if the next owner wants them off...boom. just peel off.
Where did you get them and how much did they cost... I’m in the same boat as you.

I finally got around to looking into this hood wrap. One guy quoted me $250, but he does this on the side in his garage and that quote was sight unseen. Took the car to another professional guy and he basically talked me out of it. He said he could not do the cowl vents. Said that they would come loose. Same for the sharp curves at the hood vents. Never discussed price, but I think he was in the $600 - $700 range. He also confirmed that it was only meant to be temporary and suggested painting it. Guess I'll leave her as she came from the factory.

Hood vents come off and do the hood...vent trim comes out of the bulges too...that's how I did it

After all the trouble too paint this runner not going to put stripes on it. If it ever get's sold that will have to be up to some one else. Be sides that my car is a 383 and not the Hemi so that being said that is where I am at. A buddy of mine restored a old's cutlass and was thinking of putting stripes on it and he decided not to also. Think the car look's fine with out it. Russ. :thumbsup:
