lol I know the paint is bad right there, and thats actually the good part !!

At least the cracks arent my fault but I am waiting to get a new hood before I repaint it so I can do it all at once

Amen! I don't think I've ever seen this guy make a positive comment about a customized appearance mod.

I like the green, but gold would be even better.

I'm usually pretty open about what people want to do to their cars, but I think the green is one of the most awful things I have ever seen on a vehicle. I like it when people do unique stuff to their cars, but you will most likely regret doing the green after you have had it for awhile and the excitement of just having something new wears off.

Have you thought of something like blue? It is definitely not overplayed like red, white, and silver and maybe at the right tint would look really nice.

Sorry but neither look good IMO.

The green is very tacky and ricerish IMO. I'd say either keep the red, which looks okay, or go with a gunmetal.

Both look bad in my opinion, I would avoid them both like the plague. I would like to see a photoshop of blue or maybe gold.

The green doesn't look that good. If it's between the two, stay with red. I know people overplay the black car/ white or silver emblems, but those look good to me. What I REALLY think would look good is a Gold that would match a 77/78 Trans Am scheme. I think that would look slick.

Go green. If not green, try yellow, and in addition, put off-centered Racing Stripes on it.

Where's the 'Neither' vote?!?

Dark Gold, Charcoal Gray, or if you are set on the green thing, try a really dark Kelly green, ...
But the contrasting colors shown simply stand out way too much IMO, ...
