COBRAMJL Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi guys, I'm new here and was just wondering if anyone with a ss hood has defective hood vents . They went to stripe the hood and now it sticks out like a sore thumb . The pass side vent is off a 1/2 " or more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRAMJL Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 It's goes inward towards driver side 1/2" or so more than driver side vent ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby73 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) That is correct because of water getting into engine bay. The stripes must be tapered down towards the front if you want to keep dual stripes. Not noticeable if done right. Now if you change out to the SS stripes it's not a factor at all. Hope this helps Edited July 2, 2016 by Shelby73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRAMJL Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Shelby73 and thank you for the reply . Do you have measurements on you're hood stripes ? I asked the stripe guy if he could hide the gap with the stripes be said no . I also thought about making the right side stripe a little wider but tapered he said no . Don't know what to do .

COBRAMJL Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 The stripes they put on are 9/13 16ths from rear of hood to 9 1/4 inch front which is same as factory hood . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
