Default Stripe ?'s

I have the stock hood scoop on my Blue Mustang GT. I have been trying to find a set of White Lemans Style Racing stripes. Unfortunately the only one's i have been able to find do not cover the scoop. Does anyone know of any stripes that actually continue the stripe over the scoop and down both bumpers?

Thanks,

Paul

here's a place that sells lemans stripes and hood scoop stripes; i personally haven't used this place before, but i've heard ok things about them. it looks like the ones on the scoop don't wrap along the side of the scoop, only the top. if you want them 'wrapped' down the sides, you may have to have them painted instead of using a vinyl kit.

Thanks unfortunately I want it to cover the sides of the scoop too. Maybe I will go with the reverse "c" stripes on the side instead!

why dont you just have them painted on? they can leave and edge so they feel like stripes

its going to be difficult to install vinyl on the scoop due to its curves/shape. I'd probably look into painting it

I concur, I tried wrapping my hood scoop on my 05, and it was a royal pain. I got it looking ok, but not great.
