I'm not a huge fan. Looks like you did a good job on the details, but I'm just not digging it.

I think they look good. All that matters is if you like them. I get alot of grief from some people on the looks of our car at times but i like it and that is all that counts. Roll with them.

lol @ how long to take them off..

i love the white/black theme, but i think the shape of the stripes is what detracts.. If they 'filled out' the ta scoops better i think it would look better, and id imagine it wouldve made centering those bad boys a lot easier

remember how to do it, when you get that hood fixed, they gotta come off... or replaced, either way you would have to redo them.

They look good, but are a tad small. And I think I would have rather spent the money to get a hood that wasn't damaged.
