I think they will look right at home coming out of the ram air and then stretching down the hood. Should only take a day from start to finish so hopefully next week i will get a chance to tackle it.
rock chips aside, i think it would look pretty cool if the front bumper was on fire and it was getting sucked up into the ram air scoops and then spit out the rear going up the rear bumper - JMHO.

Here are some teaser pics of my hood that i painted last week. Not completely happy with the layout so its going back into the paint booth so I can tweak it a bit. Cant see in the pics but i made a stencil of the old ram air decal and used that as a shield for applying a coat of kandy apple to tint back the other layers, made for a cool ghost effect that you have to look really close to see. Should have it done by this weekend and i will post some decent pics up in a new thread so you can get the full effect.
