Threw this on when i was detailing the car over the weekend. The more i look at it the more i like it. What do you guys think about the SS hood scoop fill-in?







After







It looks a little weird in side the garage but its not as bright and i think looks better outside. Its a nice change and ill probably leave it like this for a while. What you guys think?

I know you dont want to hear it, but I don't like it. I like when the actual scoop is painted.

The reason i made this thread is for feedback. I don't mind people telling me that they don't like something about my car. I'm open to opinions. Thanks. Your bird looks nice too i saw your other thread.

Honestly it seems like it needs something else now to tie it into the car's theme or it looks a bit outta place. I like the stock look on the hood but hey you gotta switch things up once in a while i know how it goes. Nice car, black always looks killer

As a whole it looks nice but it just cuts off. I think it would look better if it came to a pointed tip

Looks out of place. The first pics were very clean and simple and looks great.

Your car looks great, but I do not like color added to the scoop.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I only had two red colors to choose from. Red and Rally Red. I went with rally red and it came out a little brighter than I would of liked but I think it looks good. In person it doesn't look as bright, I'm going to keep it like this for a little bit then go back after I get tired of it. I might buy the Red one and see how it looks.
