Default Full Manta or New Manta?
Well, I think I want to add some black to my hood on my car since I have it as an accent color all over the car (sail panel, mirrors, berger, wheels, grill). I will be adding whistlered headlights once 6LE gets the projector project rolling and gets those released, and if they don't do the projector, i will be getting a set of their already whistlered head lights. Anyways, I was wondering what you guys thought about which I should go with. New manta or full manta?

Looks good! Nice IROC too...

As far as the new manta, it's growing on me. It wouldn't be tons of black on the front. A front on mine has a black SS w/ a white new manta and I thought it looked pretty nice.

Thought about that, but I prefer the manta and new manta over that. Plus it's not really a gloss black, all of the black on my car is gloss, so I want to carry that theme.
