Default what do you guys think

ok im really wanting to kinda hide my 3 inch ss hood, and i dont think anyone else has done this.tell me what you guys think, if i go for it, i think i will have to do the berger to pull the front together, also the center decal will be a gloss black and run a lil higher. kinda think it would look killer if i got the right wheels to pull it off, what wheels do you guys think would look good, 17 black weld rts are on my mind as of now, no oe wheels.

Eh, I say if you do anything, just do in front of the scoop, don't do the LE stripes. That's just me though.

I wonder if the stripe kit will work on the 3 inch like it would on the stock SS Hood.I'm sure there might be a lil cutting but I don't see it Being that far off. I kinda think I'm going to go threw with it. There are a few cars that look just like mine and I wanna do something different

Dont do the stripes because you dont have a 35th LE car. I like the scoop though.

the only way you're hiding that hood is to take it off. there is nothing subtle about it

Someone should PS the scoop decal in a way that it goes up the actual scoop where the beveled edges are...

Basically the whole inside of the scoop.

The way it is now looks weird with the decal then the small amount of white before the black inlet

one straight black strip engulfing the scoop would slim it down...

...what you have there looks ok, but brings more attention to it.


btw, if do any black strips, get your windows tinted...i can look thru the windshield almost count the shingles on house behind you.

2 things i have put off for way to long , lower it ,and tint. i will have the tint done very soon, and once i pick out a new wheel setup i will lower it a lil.you guys have any ideas of a place that could make me a stripe kit for the 3 inch ss hood? i m having a hard time picking wheels,im thinking something in a 17,15 or just stick with 17s.kingc8r i just needed a pic to get the idea, the center will be gloss black instead of the flat black,with the screen in,and decal put in the right spot it will look alot better.

I don't hate it, but I believe it looks better the way it is now versus what you want to do to it.
