Looks awesome! But, I must say...next mod: drop the car. After that, it's game over

It definitely looks good, but can I ask, why not bring the stripes down all the way to the end of the hood????

Acouple reasons actually. The shelby KR (of which this is a wanna be hood) is actually painted this way. The difference being that they put S H E L B Y letters below (which I do not plan on doing currently). I debated doing the stripes all the way and went back and forth a few hundred times. Finally I left them off for financial reasons. It would be cheaper to not have them, and then go back and add them later if I decided I wanted them verses putting them all the way initially and maybe not liking it...then facing the cost to repaint the entire hood again.

To be honest, now that I've seen it without them...I am about 99.99% I will not ever add them. I like the way it looks and feel like it gives off a bit of an 'attitude' that I find I am enjoying.

First time ive seen that hood in vista blue... I really like it, looks great.

I already have the louvers, and i was planning on the spoiler. I think i want the hood just not the gt500 conversion lol.
