My car had dual stripes on it when I bought it 3 or so years ago. Earlier this year I removed them as they were starting to fade and peal slightly. I had been contemplating re-striping (only wider) or maybe just leaving it plain.

Here is a before picture with the stripes. The next pic is with the hood blacked out. I used Plasti-Dip to black it out...didn't want a permanent change until I was sure what I wanted. I know there are a few streaks...it wasn't completely dry when I snapped the pics.

What do you guys think?

I really like the blacked out hood. I may just buy a cowl hood and have it painted to match, but that decision will come later. I know I can get mine painted for cheap...just looking for a few opinions.

At first glance, I didn't hate it. After looking at it for a bit, I really like it.

It would look a whole lot better if you had some red lights in the interior that pulsed to the beat of a dub step song...........just sayin.

That looks way better. I have been toying with the idea of adding some black on my car too.
