Default Red black two tone opinions....

My stock ws6 hood flew up on me so i found one on ebay thats black with a phoneix in true fire on it. I bought it. Im thinking of getting some black vinyl and doing the area behind the window and the t/a spoiler. Would like some opinions and other ideas. Heres a pic of my car with just the hood.

IMO, it would look better in red, ..., with no tru-fire, ...
Why didn't you replace it with a WS6 hood?!?

There was a dealer in FL that made a 'Banshee' edition out of red cars (lt1) and it looked okay- maybe look at something like that. It was modeled after the Banshee concept car

Nice man that actually looks pretty interesting... Especially for $80!
Red and Black is the way to go and with vinyl at least you can take it off if you dont like it.

That looks real good and it wouldn't be hard to do and OP would be able to keep the phoenix on the hood also

Haven't really seen many black/red paint jobs. But the interior would be easy to do, have a friend that has a red 99 Vette and the interior is black/red looks great.
