Default What should go on my scoop?

I like the job my painter did on my new hood but not so much the scoop. The top isn't near as glossy as I'd like. (Orange Peel and not blocked well.)

So I'm taking it to a custom graphics painter who has done work for me in the past. As he fixes the paint I'm also going to have him ghost some text on the sides of the scoop. Something in a charcoal gray metallic.

Now the question. What's coolest? I think I've narrowed it down from a list of about 50. (But I'm open to a few others too.)

Keeping in mind the fact that the car is low and black I had a couple ideas that went toward "Unholy" or "Mean"

They are "Sinister", "Creeper", "Unclean", "Malice", and the oddball "Valor".

Thoughts?

Here is a better pic of the car from the side.

Well, this is different. Lol.

I think the only one I would even remotely consider is "Sinister". DO NOT get creeper on that car. I will have to come scold and smote you. Lol.

You've always had great taste in your car before, so I trust you will do something equally as nice this time. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

You'd be surprised how poor my taste can be. That's why I'm always on here asking opinions.

instead of "creeper" why not "Molester" i think its the same ballpark. i voted for sinister, why not generic, "MUSTANG" or what about a little different, "American Muscle"

..."shadow" "Blackout"...

Or get the whole prayer from Boondock Saints on there

Hmmm. Yeah. Molester would be bad. Never drew that connection before but I guess I can see it. Mustang? No. Thought about "Boss" but the wife axed that as too "obvious". Mustang wouldn't be any better.

Shadow was on the list but got X'd because there was a Dodge Shadow at one time. That was a rule. No names that other cars had like "Viper" or "Prowler" or... Blackout? Meh. No other animal names either.

Not bad. I could be a rolling billboard for a certain Car Care Products Company and an Internet Domain Name Reseller all at once.

Maybe just Magic. Though my Milwaukee Bucks might misinterpret my NBA allegiance.

1st off what mods do you have? There are only a select few guys on here that can get away with putting stuff like that on their cars. Gotta make sure the words on the hood reflects whats under the hood.

Interesting in that the hood actually removed/changed what I had under it. The hood is functional and apparently screwed up my Steeda tune. I have a new one from C&M, a local Mustang/SCT shop. Still uses the intake tube and box. That's all. My strut tower brace had to come off too. It wouldn't fit anymore. Exhaust is JBA. Shifter is Hurst. Otherwise just some engine dress up stuff. Midwest AutoGear and a few billet pieces.

Nothing to write on the hood about.

At some point, a turbo from On 3 Performance.
