Default Getting hood repainted, any ideas?

I am having my hood repainted in 2 weeks. My clearcoat is breaking down and turning loose, so I am going to have the whole thing repainted.

Any ideas for something to add a little flair? I don't want stripes (racing style stripes anyway) but if anybody has any ideas for something that might add a nice little touch, post them up.

Pics would be great!
Thanks,
Taco

Not too much you can do on just the hood that will look good. Maybe some kind of silver or gold metallic flakes just on the ram air part?

Do some ghost flames. Or even ghost blackbird stripes, if you have the ram air.

Taken care of, sorry.

I like the ghost blackbirds idea. I wish I had my car finished and tuned so I could put the HP numbers on there (but I don't know if having them painted on permanently would be so good an idea anyay!).

Not really into ghost flames just on the hood, if I was having the whole car or front end repinted, then maybe.

Any others? Still waiting on some pics!

No thanks on the chikkin.

I want something small, or at least understated, but different.

Thanks though,
Taco

Just a hint of flames [yellow/orange/red mix] where the nostrils start... not the whole nose, but about 4-6 inches... I know someone on here had/has it on his Black WS6 hood and it looks SICK!!

I had thought about something like that too, pics would be awesome...

I also thought about ghost purple & blue flames coming back off the nostrils too, just like maybe 6-8 inches back... any thoughts?

Thanks, I might have to consider that idea Rahul.

That would be pretty sick. If you do that make sure it's really subtle. That would be bad ***!
