Default Striped cowl hood pics?

I'm looking to get the 3" Trufiber cowl hood, but was thinking about putting the matte black super snake stripe on it. Has anybody put any type of stripe on their cowls? If so, can you post a pic of your hoods? I'm not too sure on how the stripe would look with the angles of the hood. TIA

Saleen Hood. Its not much of a cowl but it does have some rise to it and odd angles. But I'm happy with how it turned out.

Technically it cost me nothing. It was a 1 for 1 swap for my stock hood at Brenspeed for a guy getting a super shaker. No paint required as it was a perfect match. It did cost me a 14 hour round trip and multiple vacation days. There was a lot of BS involved with getting it done. 3 people trying to schedule with each other, lol. But in the end it worked out alright.

Thanks for the compliment!

wow, that is a lucky swap pennywise. Car looks great man! I wish that would happen to me! I'm not a huge fan of the stock hoods, but aftermarkets are kinda expensive.
