Nose stripe... Old school look

Has anyone ever done or seen a stripe on the nose of a Thirdgen? Much like an 67-69 camaro? I was wondering how it would look... I always liked the way it looked on first gens. Thanks for the input!

In my opinion it makes it too similar to a mustang stripe when you take them down the nose on the third gens.

Red leader- wrong kinda stripes lol. I don't mean racing/ heritage stripes. I meant a stripe that starts on the front quarter panel in Front of the tire and comes up over the nose/hood and back down the other front quarter panel. Old Dodge chargers used to have them on the trunk of the car too, old camaros had them on front.

Re: Nose stripe... Old school look

I don't think a nose stripe would look right on a third gen, but a hockey stripe off the front fenders would be cool, or maybe a 68 bandit stripe that runs across the nose and down the fender to a point on the door http://www.69pace.com/images/Paint/1...grottoblue.jpg
