I pulled up Google pics, I'm stuck on the shaker or the cowl hood. The car will be jetstream blue metallic with twin silver stripes.

The cowl looks great, the stinger hood looks ok on some cars. I had a Trufiber WS6 hood because I was able to get it at cost from them

To put stripes on the hood with the cowl induction, how would you go about doing it?

Trust me I know I just happened to stumble along one for mine. Had to drive 6 hrs each way to get it . Just happened to be the same color as the car so it was worth the drive! Warbird hood FTW!

I've got an American Sports Car design cowl hood on my car, but I bought it back in 1998; don't think they make them anymore. It keeps the underhood temps nice and low. Mine fits/looks great....here's a pic of what it looks like (not my car). It's cool to have something different than the typical ram air hood.

The only cowl hood I've seen for sale recently is the carbon fiber ones...kinda pricey, and I'm not a fan of the exposed CF look....would look good painted though:

There's some weird looking "Duraflex" hoods on ebay I've never seen before too:
