Looking for a shop to do decal work I want to change my hood look, it came with this painted on 'stinger' style hood design. Thought it was a decal that I could remove when I bought the car but turned out to be painted on:
I want to go over it with a decal design something like this, on the hood only. Looking for some recommendations for a good shop or if any guys in this area can make this decal and apply it for me. I like this design but without the skull/hologoram part, just want it all black in that area:
Anywhere within 1 hour or so of Reading PA would be great. Thanks

I ended up taking the car to Reaction Graffix, dropped the car off there two weeks ago and just picked it up today. Let me know what you guys think.
Before:
After:
I had sanded the edges of the old painted on design really well I thought but they started to lay down the design and you could still see it through the decals. They spent a lot of time block sanding the old design down flat so you now cant see any evidence of it. I'm really happy with the work they did, looks like a different car to me now, I really hated the old look of the hood. I'd highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to have decal work done, they are very professional to deal with and do really nice work for a reasonable price. They are just north of the Harrisburg area.
I also picked up a front plate cover, I need to have it painted then Im removing the screen section there. It didnt come with the plate cover so I just did the screen look to fill it, dont really like how it looks.

I'm honestly not a big fan of that kind of stripe on the vettes (or most cars), but I will say it does look much better than what you started with, good job.
The grey helps compliment the wheels.
Not to nitpick but, your flag emblem on the nose is not centered.

Thanks for the feedback (either way). I'll have to look at the emblem closer, didn't seem off when I did it. It only goes on one way with the mounting holes. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I asked them to match the silver to the wheels, it's really close. I was a bit embarresed to drive the car with the old hood design, it just wasn't me and I thought it looked cheesy. Much happier with it now.
