    I love the use of sublety. Paint the mirrors body color too, and don't add any black. Let your exhaust note do the talking. No need to advertise with the usual muscle car trim. Just my 2 cents. John B

    :hmmm:
    Have one of the photo shop guys on this forum photo shop the black scoop (for an idea of what looks best) as for me, I'm thinking I do the twin early Grabber strip down the middle and going slightly around the scoop.

    :) Yeah, I was thinking a thinner strip ending along the side hump of hood not as far forward in the front of the hood like the one you posted. I never thought about the strip down the scoop, I was thinking leave the scoop all black or maybe yellow.

    In my opinion leave it body colored, since your scoop is molded into the hood. If it were larger and had sharper edges all around I would go with black, -maybe-

    I'd leave it body color. It's fairly tall scoop and if you paint it black it might stand out too much. Hard to say without really seeing it. I'd leave body color though....looks badass. What is that scoop from?
