It's so nice not having salt and winter road grime all over the car again isn't it. I'm amazed that my car still looks like I just washed it even though it's been 4 days.

No name. I've never been able to think of something that sounds good so it just stays "the svt". Any ideas are welcome.

Here's the hood stripe picture for pyroinsa. It actually didn't look so bad but the biggest problem was that it made my headlights look grey and faded compared to the black.

What did you use to paint your hood. Mine is just plastidipped, waiting for the real thing on the carbon fiber one.

[02fordsvt]

Gloss black Krylon spray paint.

I think it would look better if your wheels were a darker color. The white makes your headlights stand out more from the black hood. Just my $0.02

You might actually be right. Here's the only pic I have with the stripe and black wheels. Unfortunately, this was when I was trying out the tinted headlights as well so it's hard to say anything.



But, no matter what, I not going back to the hood stripe. At least not for a while. I like my clean, blue hood too much.

It's hard to have black accents look decent when the vehicle body color is close to dark itself. It blends in to much to get the effect you might want. The blue is to nice to cover up. That is why i painted my race car sonic blue.

I agree with Focussport13, just go back to the blue. I'm keeping mine that way. I can''t wait to paint my mirror caps, it looks nice.
