Default I need Ideas for my Hood




This is my SS style Hood for my Silverado. I am looking for ideas for the hood because I dont want the hood to be all red, I want the scoop to stand out just a little bit if that make sense. I am going to have the Bowtie & Inlets on the SS Bumper Cover painted Silver, Everything else is going to be Victory Red excepts for the bed caps & step pads just so you know. I have been looking at Camaro SS's for inspiration, Let me know if you have any ideas.

IMO I would put some Louvers in the hood and incorporate them into your paint sceme. I saw your other thread and it looks like you got a pretty good body guy so I don't think molding in some louvers would be a big deal for him. I am Rolling my own louvers on another project but you can buy a set from these guys.

Louvers

Do you have any pictures? I am not sure what you are talking about but once I see a picture I will understand.

Louvers
I dont know about that? I am not sure how they would look with my truck plus I am already maxed out cost wise with the paint job and cant really afford cutting into the hood for something I just dont know about. Thanks for the idea though.

I would go with the pin-striping idea as well!
