Not a bad color.

But IMO that style hood only belongs on an LS1 TA/Formula.

The color is nice, but the hood looks out of place.

I like the color fine, definately will catch some glances...

Like I told my wife after spending about 100 hours painting the house when she mentioned how she wasn't sure if she liked the color... I said it doesn't really matter at this point I'm not painting it again!!

Maybe do something to the front or hood, like pinstripes, it may bring something off the hood to make it look less "busy". Just my .02.
