New hood, re-stripe or de-stripe? Advise please
Just got my new hood and side scoops installed, I called the dealership and they told me it would cost $190 to get it re-striped. Is that too much? For that price, I was thinking I could maybe get it re-striped with black super snake stripes or just removing the stripes all together. I really liked the white stripes though. What do you guys think? Sorry for the shi**y pictures, used my phone.
Before anyone says anything, I know I have to remove the side scoop and move it up about 1/2 an inch, the guy who installed it for me goofed up.

Yeah, I was thinking of de-striping for now, then SS stripes in spring. Same with the side scoops, I figure it would be easier taking them off when its warm outside. I have a heat gun to remove the stripe though. If I do decide to re-stripe the hood now, is $190 too much to pay for part and labor for just the hood?

De-stripe and sleep on it... so many options out there, and 190 just for the hood seems excessive imo... great looking car though! 1 year and one month later, I am seeing all the options out there and as much as I love my car, it makes me re-think the black I chose, maybe in the afterlife I woulda picked grabber blue or white....
And.. after seeing your car, Im going to order the DG window louvers... great look, and painted to boot!
