Hey guys kind of curious..how do you think painting the sides of the cowl on the hood black. Like where blackbird stripes would go..just plain black?

Here's how I have my stripes, but mine are matte black on gloss black.

IMHO, I don't think the BB stripes work well with this hood, considering how the bulge tapers on both ends.

Don't paint anything black on that hood. Much cleaner that way!

****Please, Please, Please******

Don't paint anything under the clear. If you don't like it later, you will be stuck with it. Vinyl graphics can always be removed and replaced.

I would not paint the stripes. If you want to change up the look add vinyl instead of regretting that you painted it black. Also, you want to add some contrast to the SOM/black stripe look. Photoshop a silver pinstripe alongside the stripes for contrast and see if you like it.

On your car I'd vote no stripes. On my car I used plastidip so I could remove it and it's black on black so it's more subtle.

You have to order them through Emblem Pros. I don't recall how much they are, but email or PM them and they can help you out.

I stuck with TTII's but had them powdercoated...similar to the blackbird cars but mine are darker. I'd have loved some Fikse's but 3k for rims was way over the top for me.
