Many moons ago I also did this. It broke up the back of the car a bit imo. Eventually I painted the car and ended up leaving it white at that point. I still think it looks good though.

...2007ish...

What I wanted to do with the nostrils was just width of bottom all the way back,, then paint from the scoops of stock hood back in stripes. Definitely different

I like it! Little bits of contrasting color can go a long way to improving the looks of a car, I think Dave Kindig said something of the same during one of his projects.

I love the back. Red and black go very well together. The front I'm torn on. The colors work, but my brain sees a camaro with that paint scheme.
