painting the hood and a drop would really improve the car's overall looks.

hard to tell what condition the headlights are in, but a set of clears/smoked would look real slick too.

paint it. if you like the black, at the very least paint the sides and leave the center section flat black. it just looks getto with the whole hood unpainted.

It might look ok if the hood was a "shiny" black, to match your wheels. But if your going through the trouble to paint it, might as well match it.

I say paint it. To me, it looks not completed. I bought my wing straight from Kaenen. You asked where to buy from, correct? The # was when I ordered it, 321-768-7986. I paid like $220/shipped to me. My smoked lights came from BOI. If you want to buy there's, look on their Ebay page. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Blue-Oval-Industries__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Mine were quite a bit cheaper through buying from there.

i say leave the center section black and paint the corners of the hood. also how about painting the roof section black to match the hood. on the other hand all green is sweet too

id just keep it simple and do the whole thing green. if nothing else, down the line if you change wheels and go with a different color/finish, your hood wouldnt look out of place at all.

Paint the center glossy black and do the sides the body color. It'll still be black, it'll tie in with your wheels, and look good. Look at riceslayer's hood to get an idea on what me and the others are talking about

Lose the gold stripe, lose the mach one lip, lose the grille, drop it in the weeds, and stop trying to black out stuff that shouldn't be! Here is a word of advice....look at your pictures, if your black "touches" are more black than your actual tires....you're trying too hard. Paint the entire body ONE color, and accent from there. Mirrors, rims, calipers, lights ect.
