Did you do it yourself? It looks cool, almost carbon fiber'ish...IMHO, it'd look better if your roof and pillars were painted the same color [as the triangle].

Yer mighty ballsy! I don't know if I could bring myself to do that...how's your paint lines? I never have luck with making straight lines with tape.

Looks good though, what color is that? You should, totally, do the roof & pillars too!

So let me guess....

there was a reason why you even decided to do this......
Scratch?
rock chip?
needed a repaint anyway?

.... was there some damage to the hood before you did it?

Looks awsome from far, Id like to see some up close pictures.

is that primer?
theres no shine to it, but kinda like that about it.
fill us in with more info and more pics. looking good...

WOW, you just made my day. This looks awesome, I have been thinking aboutdoing this exact thing on my car, just with a piece of vinyl. I took a couple of pics and used microsoft paint to try to see how it looks, but it didn't turn out so well on that.

hey man - can't wait to see it. it looks good, and I already know how the rest of the car looks - I think it will match well, make it all flow (stripes etc)...

I laughed at a dude here who spray bombed a flat black racing stripe on his mustang. and it wasn't cause it was a mustang or a racing stripe..

I was thinking of doing this the vinyl way. thanks for the pic!
I'm also thinking of 'vinyl'ing the roof in between the two strips.

There was a guy that had the vinyl for this but he doesn't do it anymore. Where do we go to get this precut in vinyl?
