Thanks ,nah no hood scoop. The blacked out hood I think really emphasizes the stock raised hood.

If you haven't already put back on the fake gas cap, do you know the diameter of the flat portion behind the cap. The flat raised area where the holes are?
I curious, but I don't want to remove mine just to find out.
Thanks

Just be aware of the extra care that matte paint finishes take. Never get wax on it, if it ever gets mud, bird crap, hit a puddle, etc., wash it quickly. They show scuffs and develop watermarks after a few years. Good luck to you.

Nice job, your choice of wheels really makes it all come together.

Hey thanks! We think the colors really do accent each other beautifully!
