Default Ghost bird on a WSQ hood?

Thinkin bout a ghost bird in the hood? Black car and a flat black bird in hood or something? Seen some checkered flags kinda faded into a black hood and I like it. Anyone done a bird? What else looks good on black hood? Fixing to buy a car and swap hood. Need black car inspiration!!

Usually not a fan of the hood bird on these cars but not going to lie a flat black bird on a black hood I think would probably look pretty sick. If you are looking for subtle accents then I would do flat black stuff on the black car. Personally I love the combination. Flat black stripes would look sweet too.

It sounds like a real kick *** idea... and i love the WSQ hoods. I just wonder it will look too busy with a bird on those hoods. On a sleak beak, definelty. On a hood with that many contours I just dont know.... but if you do it in vinal you can always just take it off...

I don't care much for checkered flags on cars. I think they look cheesy. However, I would LOVE to see a matte black bird on a black hood. I think it would be sick.

Yes, TA's only got the ram air hood if they got the WS6 Package (Ram air hood and upgraded sport suspension).

Here is a bird on a hood with allot of contours. I know yours will be diffrent (flat black on black). FYI

I think if its more of a retro style bird it would look cool, I'm not big on that Mecham bird. I think the concept is sound though.

I know its not what you're asking for specifically... but I had a guy air brush this on when I had my car painted.



Also, showcases the Corvette DRL mod as well
