Default What to do with SS hood?
I won the drawing for an ASCD hood , and am getting my new SS hood this week. Below is a frontal pic of my car, which of the following, A through C, do you think would look best? I really want something different than plain silver. Grille opening will be filled in with a WW insert painted either silver or black (depends on which stripe/decal package I go with, I'm afraid of too much black, aka overdone accent color). Which of the following decals/accents would look best, in your opinion?

My car currently:

Options:

A. Hood scoop fill decal in black


B. "Manta" stripe in black


C. "Berger" kit in black.



Whatcha think, what would look best?

Thanks, Shawn

I like C the best... but I guess I'm partial as I have the F-1 stripes.

i think that a painted manta stripe would look killer. for some reason it seems like it would set off the dark wheels more. all that silver with black accents is sick, works perfect on ur ride. but the berger kit is nice too.

The answer is C! The Berger stripes hands down!

Congrats on winning that hood too....

I've always liked the Manta stripe. I think it would look killer on your car.

I've got the Manta stripe on my car and love it. So I'd say that.
