You definitely needs stripes on the hood, try a single superstripe. The hoodscoop is nice, but too permanent.

I'm not fan of the superstripe, it's too plain......or something, just not a fan.

A drastic change would be a different hood.

try the racecraft or H281 stripe from Saleen they will sell it to you at a reasonable price. It will look a lot less trashy than one that goes all the way down the hood.

1800 888 8945

h281:

haha, same here... I kept going back and forth between 1&2 and 3&4 trying to figure it out, but couldn't come up with anything.

I love the stripe Legion posted! Do that!

I'd install the black stripe shown in option 1/2. I'd actually leave the hood scoop off, the car doesn't need it.
