Not really sure how to handle the stripe situation with the ram air hood while avoiding going too far down the front... only thing that really comes to mind is a single stripe with the scoop being the only orange on the hood, but that's kind of "Pontiac" now isn't it?!?!?

Personally I liked the way it was with the stock hood and reflective stripes but... I understand getting "tired" of a look, but it was a winner!

Oh... and lest we forget Mels SS also has a white/orange theme. It too it a 6.5 gen not a 6th gen

Default stay with the orange

........Stay with the ORANGE STRIPES........
That car is one of the best looking one's on this forum ( with respect to everyone else. ). Those stripes set it off from all others

I think yesterday seeing it all day just white put me in shock when I got the car back in January it was white and everyone thought I was crazy to stripe it and after seeing it for 7 months striped you just get use to it.. I am all about not over doing the look of the car so I will do the hood first and then drive it for a week or 2 before I make this call on striping it . I believe that I will re-stripe the car I just don't want to over do it that is a busy hood
