Default Ideas on ss hood options?

OK, well, just got my car back from the body shop and they installed my SS hood, and while i love it and wouldnt ever go back to stock, i feel like it needs something! Im torn about the stinger hood decal, on the one hand i think its nice, but with the theme im going for it would be black and i tend to think that would be alittle much! If u guys have some pics of diffent things i could do, or maybe diffent colors other than black on silver that would help. Also, im not a fan of the part in the hood in-front of the scoop being a differnt color.

Just get the stinger painted...or do racing stripes like me If you get the stinger painted, I would go with silver or Rally red, that would look killer

u are aware that my car is silver right? So a silver stinger would be indistinguishable on a silver car and look loke it does now, a silver hood. Red though, would look maybe to flashy and off the wall on silver, but thanx for ur help man and nice ride!

LOL!! my bad man, I must have misread something. Well in that case, a Black manta stripe would look freakin clean! actually red would look great too, I dont think it would look too flashy, maybe do a photoshop and see what it would look like

I think the Manta is the same thing you are calling a Stinger, but I could be mistaken.

Here is my True Fire "Manta". A true manta is normally solid in whatever color you want but you get the Idea.

If you want something to compliment your hood and at the same time not have it be a little too much for you, go with the hood scoop insert.

Well, Camaroguy already posted a pic of my SS but, here's an alternative that I really like. Mine is painted of course but, this is a decal from 3rd Gen. They call it the "New Manta" http://3rdgendecals.com/NewManta.htm
