Default ws6 hood custom paint!!
I got this idea from a member on here who designed it in a videogame i believe? can't remember his name hopefully he chimes in, anyway he said I could go for it.. here's the finished product. I actually had it repainted again since these pics to clean up the edging near the nose where he didn't finish it properly.. but hope you guys like

I think it looks great, but you should have put a pin stripe on the inside too...

I was planning on doing something similar, except move the "buldge" a little closer to the front of the nose. Looks good though, I've seen the other members' pic.

Looks good! I did the Forza 3 mock up when Jlincks came up with it. Lynx Stripes they were named.

I did them both ways in Forza and put them up on my storefront. That is by far the most popular design. 50 some downloads of it.

i like it. any text? ram air or hp rating... i might put it towards the back side of the bulge of the hood, where the black recesses on top revealing the silver, continuing the bottom line of the black for continuity. if that all makes sense, lol...

side pic with the wheels?

I'm liking that. Definately unique. Now you need to paint the brird on the license plate cover to match. Oh, and do the CETA mod if you haven't.
