I like stripes. I thought about hood stripes for a long time. I even went to the trouble of taking pix of vehicles on a local dealer lot -from above, sort of- and drawing stripes on them. I could never 'get to happy place' with any of my drawings. This is why I went with the tail stripes. They just seem to fit so perfectly. I like the idea of hood stripes and hope someone can get it to look good. The problem I found was you want to put the stripes centered on the raised panels on the hood. But when you do that, they are not centered on the grill sections. Then you have to consider that the raised sections are not the same width from the front to the back of the hood. If you apply a uniform width stripe to these areas, the difference in width will become more apparent. I think it can be done, but the stripes will need to be slightly wider at the one end than at the other so they don't look crooked. Maybe I just studied it too much.
I am still hoping that someone will produce a nice fiberglass hood for the Nitro. Adding a couple of scoops to the hood might bring a smile to the Nitro's face, as well as many owners.
By the way Waldorf, I kind of agree with Bubba. Either white, or for me, silver would be my preference for stripe color on the electric blue.
