Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I appreciate the help. I talk to the body shop and he said he will be ready to paint by next week.

For one thing....lose that eleanor hood and get a cowl hood. Another thing you could do is change the stripe to a supersnake stripe. Paint it Saleen orange against your existing grey.

What do you think?

i've never been one for badging period. in fact, i'm trying to get all mine taken off asap.

as far as the stripe, i think it should extend out further to the rear bumper, gives it a prety clean look.

if you're painting under the hood to match the stripes, why stop there? you should get some other random tidbits painted
