Here you go, IMO if you went this route, I would do the gloss not the flat.




as for the louvers, I understand, but if you don't know what I was talking about here is a pic. But I would move them farther back.

Here are a couple pictures that I found. Let me know what you think. I really like this first picture, simple yet bold!

Tough call...I like the idea of matching the bowtie and inlets, although the muscle car vibe is cool...what color are the bed caps and step pads going to be? If they're gonna be black, then I vote for black on the hood too...

I'd do this one. The other ones look good because they either have racing stripes or something else to complement the hood, this one is by itself and looks awesome! If you go grey make sure there is grey in other areas too other than the bowtie and inlets. There's pieces of black everywhere so it will blend it more easily.

I have decided on the hood. I am doing this look below but instead of paint I will be buying a decal especially made for my hood. I am going to have my entire hood painted Red and then in a couple weeks I will apply the decal. I can get it in many colors so I was going to get Silver & Matte Black for now. This will help me truly decide on what color and then next year I can have the hood repainted to the color I choose at that time. I just dont want him to paint it and then I decide I dont like it. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it.
