Default Painted my ws9 outlaw hood...opinions?

I tried for a slightly different look. Painted the whole hood pewter then painted the ram air inlets black then cleared it...

Any thoughts/comments?

Thumbs up

I like it- --good move painting the ducts black--stands out more....what are you gonna paint the screens,or leave them black?? silver/chrome would look good.

Its hard to imagine how well it would look with it off the car. Its different and I like it so far, but Ill reserve my final opinion until I see how it looks with the two nostrils on the bumper

My intent was to paint those black, but I got really tired last night and laying out the tape where it blends back into the panel was frustrating me so I chose not to do them.

Did you paint the pewter as well or just the black accents?

It looks good. I have thought about getting that hood more than once but would like to see it in Pewter on a car first.
