Default To Stripe or Not To Stripe

My car needs something to spice up the front end.

I've already installed a Mach 1 Grille Delete, but I was thinking of putting on one of Rocky Mtn. Grahpic's hood decal for the area that lays on the center of the hood in front of the scoop.

I want to do it in flat black.

I think it would give my car the extra look in the front that I'm going after, especially with the Mach grille.

Here's a pic of my car before the grille delete.





Suggestions, I think the flat black on black looks kinda cool.

i think it would still look clean since you are going black, and not a contrasting color. im not a huge fan of that little stripe, so i wouldnt do that kind of stripe on my car. but then again, this is not my car. it could look pretty tight, but all depends what you like man!

My car came with a black one already on it. Some days I like it, but most I don't. Although, on a black car a matte black one would give it a nice touch without being too obvious. But, if I were you, there are a bunch of other upgrades I would consider doing before this one.

I wouldn't do it to my car but have seen mustangs with the flat black stripe on a glossy black car that look bad a$$! I would say do it if you got that cash and thats what your into but its not my cup of tea.

Try a Mach 1 chin spoiler. I'm with the others on the stripe.... looks good sometimes on some cars, but it's not for me.
