Id do the manta in black with the pewter hood, I find the black hood on these cars just looks unfinished. Nice car either way though, the TT2s should look good.
this is my car,like I said I loved the black hood for a week,then I couldn't stand it,I think the black stripe under the scoop looks the best,but on pewter they all look good Trending Topics

Those cars pull it off because if you notice the 2 tone flows with the body lines and grill. And to be honest I still don't care for the look...it seems to me it was their way of saying "oh hey look, fiberglass hood"
Fbodies are pointed with huge *** plastic bumpers, leaving a hood unpainted leaves nothing but 1 huge rectangle of black to stick out like a sore thumb and break up the flow.
Also those hoods are satin, not gloss. Not that it matters on a fbody for the reasons I mentioned above, but it makes the car look even more like "hey look what I found in the junkyard".

I, however, LOVE the look of the AAR 'Cuda and Challenger T/A - flat black hoods included. Gloss black would never work on any car though.
So, OP, paint it and buy a manta or something similar.

By the way, Bob, I actually like the look of your matte hood in this picture. Very retro-esque.
