Vinyl hood blackout?

[Viperbluelx]

Does anyone know a source for a vinyl hood blackout? I'd like to black everything between the hood lines

go to anyone that does vinyl stickers

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, has anyone on here done this before?

Used paint here...had multiple vinyl setups in the past and none ever lasted. Swear by paint and be done with it.

What did paint run you to do that? My thoughts about going with vinyl on mine is that the paint is sticking like cr2p to the aluminum hood. I have so many paint chips it's crazy. Figured vinyl would give me one more layer of protection and I'd probably throw an extra layer at the front lip.

you can say crap, no need to disguise it. FUCK FUCK FUCK lol


You go to an auto body place and they paint it. Your not painting it by yourself with a spray can. unless your a ricer.

Used hotrod black on the center of my hood...which was professionally done.

I would never paint my car with a spray can. My truck maybe, my car never.

Here is a picture of the vinyl on my 05. The hood was done by a local installer who does work for most of the dealers in the area. It was installed in Sept 05 and still looks good today. I do not have any recent pics as the car is now in CA with my daughter. I use the Meguiers Quick Detailer on it and keeps the soft sheen and protects from fading.

Paint is probably the best but I like the appeal of undoing it at a moments notice should I want to or feel I need to. I was considering buying a large piece (3'x5') and drapping it over the hood. Kind of like the Steeda hoods. Debating whether I want to do a flat black or carbon fiber look.

I never understand why people let girls crawl all over their car just for the sake of a pic.......and when they accidentally push in the roof or hood you'll be wondering, was it really worth it???

I had it painted at a bodyshop. Color is called hotrod black...I paid $350 but I've used the same bodyshop for years so I always get good rates/discounts there.
