Got new hood...neep help!!

Got the new hood a few days ago. I love it! Just a black gel coat right now. I have to decide if I want to go body color with it or do flat black or???? Whatcha think?

Do it up like the other one.

was getting tired of the big superman logo

If you do flat black, make the black continue to the front bumper.

OMG,,,NO!

black roof, black hood.

^^ What he said

If I do black roof and hood then I probably need to do the trunk too?? Don't ya think it might be overkill with the stripes I have on the sides?

I'm gonna have it prepped, painted and blended with the fenders body color first so it fits right and then have it wrapped in flat black and maybe do some sort of writing on the sides of the scoop like Mopar or Charger...

I agree also

Have it fade from the fender color to flat black from the fender to the center. Maybe do up a POC first...might be cool..might suck.

and follow down the front bumper and do the top of the trunk lid only. Not the back.

I'd say colormatched sides and do the scoop in flat black

The whole hood in flat black, I dont like what you did.

No, I know...I don't like it either. Was just showing the look.

Have the hood painted body color.. But have the front 1/8 or so air brushed to look like the paint is pealing back from the speed.exposing the flat black. I wish you could see the picture in my head. here I will put my head on the screen LOL.

maybe some pealing around the scoop.

any way thats my 2 cents. just an idea

I'd say do the color mach thing, then wrap it if you want, you can always pull it off and go a different route later then ya know??

If ya wanna wrap it let me know man LoL

I think that's the direction I'll probably go in. It gives me more options down the road. I do tend to change my mind a lot. I'm not in a big hurry as the car will be done for the season soon. It actually doesn't look too bad just raw right now anyway so rather than send it to a shop now I'll enjoy the last few days/weeks, whatever we have left before it snows and just drive it. I'll pick a shop to drop it off at when the first snow falls. Got some other goodies going in over the winter.

Make sure you have fenders and fascia blended in when you get it painted.

Absolutely

I like the idea of flat black on just the scoop like you did, but maybe not the whole scoop. What about doing it just the width of the scoop opening, following that edge back. Then it's not so much black. Basically take 3-4 inches on each side off from what you did.

Think this is final decision...

that's a winner
