YES, that is IT. thats the exact thing i had in mind as soon i saw your car. not even from this thread, but since i saw your car in earlier threads, i've looked at your car and thought about it with that. the SS hood with the manta will look gorgeous on your car.

I'm sorry maybe I was thinking wrong. That don't look bad. What about instead of going in top it's just on the inside. The tips follow up the SS lines and then go around on the inside by where the vent is and back around?

I guess I feel that the one you pictured has too much going on for your car. Your car looks so well with the subtle looks and accents that you've done to it. Let me know what you think.

I think if I add the stripe to the trunk spoiler, it may get a bit busy..and you're 100% correct, I prefer subtle to in your face ( although I guess Hugger Orange can't be considered subtle can it? )

Without the manta the SS hood would look too bland on the car I think.

In the meantime, I'm tracking down a set of Torq Thrust IIs to have the centers powder coated black. What I really may do here is hold off on the hood choice until after the SS spoiler and wheels go on it.

Those wheels would look great. Of course the spoiler would too. Do you know what I mean by the inside stripe that's like a reverse manta? I don't have a way to show a pic. I'm on my iPhone

Most definitely SS hood for your car. Then some 17x11 ZR1's on the rear.

I'd love to stuff a big tire on a 17 x 11 in the rear...but call me crazy, I just can't get myself to take a BFH to the wheelhouse on this car. It's just tooooo clean!!!

Take away the black on th inside and just leave the stripe around the inside of the scoop. Instead of it being a filled in area

I'd almost have to try to Photoshop itvi can't find anything. It's like the stingray stripe but instead of going up and around the scoop it goes around the inside of the scoop

I voted for Sunoco w/o the line, but you can't go wrong with the SS hood.

I think you need 11's out back too. Just spray some undercoating after you do the BFH and you'll never be able to tell.

Almost. Bring it down to where the vent is. Make it go inside instead of on the outside??? Get what I mean. I need my Photoshop program back.

I hear you. If you ran a Nitto street radial or DR you wouldn't have to.

That's possible...however, knowing the stellar luck I have had with lowered cars and tire/wheel fitments it would be an epic fail
