yeah, theres like two different style manta stripes you can buy for the hood, but painting it would be the best option IMO, even though its more expensive

Any body shop should be able to do it. Also you could talk to jay at 3rdgendecals, and he will do stencil for you.

If you do them right alot of the times you will have to feel them to see if they are paint or vinyl. But if you talk to the guy from the site above he will make a template for you so you can have it painted on. He did it for me..

And the color all depends on how much you want it to stick out. If you want it to be very noticeable get silver, then you can keep going darker dark gray or even black like said above.. It really depends on the look your going for.

Silver will look the best... whte will stand out like a sore thumb, and black will blend in... Mine is painted, and it cost $100

i'd have to say a dark charcoal grey looks really good and also very unique, i've gotten alot of compliments on it and so far i haven't seen anybody else with it. did have black on there before which looked great, but wanted something that stood out just a little more
