Props for doing it but:

1) Flag should be backwards, time of war...

2) Looks a little Dukes of Hazzard without the flare...

That said, GREAT JOB ON THE BODY WORK MAN !!!

Very impressive!!! Also, I go for option 4, paint the scoop satin black.

If not I say go all blue...

I say paint the scoop to match the hood then paint on the flag with a contrasting black color... like ghost flame style.

"AMERICA **** YEAH!!!!"....but i think you should paint it blue, it just looks kind of out of place, but you did a nice job on it.

+1, love the thought, but that would look awesome with a more subtle approach maybe...

Like 6LITEREATER said the flag should be flipped, but regardless it looks good. As far as what to do with it. I would say keep it but fix it, but its all up to you. If you decide to remove the flag I would paint the hood to match the rest of the car (in the pics the hood certainly looks faded and flat compared to the rest of the car) then do like a white manta to it
