O and by the way my car is pewter and i intend to black some of it out.

I have a suncoast hood, which is a little different style, but i really think that painting the whole scoop looks best. Had mine painted last month. Ive got more pictures if you need to see them.

I like the 35th.

There is a white one on here with it done in gray. One of the nicest Camaros on here I think.

I'd say manta, although I think once I get an SS hood on this new Z, I'll be putting on the 35th decal.
