    I think the reason your car amazes me so much is it went from being a big bumped eye sore to a beautiful small bumpered car that looks dang good in like a week!

    i dunno if i can decide w/o seeing it black first...... it looks great now but i dunno if the scoop painted black would really do it for it or just throw the whole thing off and look out of place.

    maybe photoshop it and see what u come up with first.... :yup:

    do not paint just the scoop....it will look like an after thought. Only time a black scoop looks right on a painted car is if it is a "shaker".

    your car looks sooooo nice! I voted black but it would have to be done tastefully. not just simple shiny black. maybe a semi-gloss black just on the top and leave the side of the scoop same color.

    I did a quick job in PS and I say keep it the way it is. I did it keeping the reflections like you have such as a gloss black would be.

    The only way I would do it is if you do a split black stripe on the entire raised section of the hood, otherwise it will look like you just stuck the scoop on there.

    I'd think if you were going to paint only the scoop black it would stand out like a sore thumb. JMO:)

    Why stop at the scoop, paint the whole car black :thumbs2:






    Not really, I vote to leave it the same color it looks good and more like it is original
