There's no way you make stripes look good on your car with the contour of your hood. It would just look warped. If you did do something, paint the entire center section of your hood a contrasting color like black. If you wanted to go more subtle, a nice Black Cherry center cowl would look awesome.

Here's mine in DFG & Black

Thanks Bro. I am running 285's on the back with a 1 inch wheel spaer. The tires fit right at the outer edge of the fender.. Also I bought the hood from AM. I wanted the smoked out look so I took off the chrome pony and bought a black one and put overlays over the fog lights. Thanks again man..

Hey thanks man. You guys are spot on again. The more I look at it the more I want to slap myself for entertaining the question.

Thanks Bro.. The reason why I went with a 1 inch spacer was because with the the 285's it would have still been under the fender... If I place my hand on the edge of my rear fender its almost perfect with the tire...

Ok. Are they 9" or 10" rims on the back? Did the hood have any issues with fitting properly? Sorry for all the questions. I really like the mean look of your car. I've got a stock black hood with the black spring edition stripes on it. I like the black on black look, but I really love the cowl hoods. Thanks!
