Not a big project...but i need some ideas..

[reptilla]

Just got my hood scoop in the mail. Top notch quality. It's a ford unit. It come with everything I need to install including a whole hood template so the fit should be dead nuts. I have all winter to decide what color to have it painted so let me know of any ideas. I like things different. Here's a mock up
of the scoop. Ignore the shadows cause there are mounting studs underneath keeping it off the hood. Oh, and i know some of you doinks out there(you know who you are) are gonna suggest pink, to match my pantaloons. Pink is out.

flat black

My vote is to paint it yellow with the black stripes to match the car.

Matte Black............That scoop is quality .Had it on my 2010 GT before I swapped my hood.

 

[reptilla]

Not going to do it the same color as the car. since it would be right against the hood if the paint isn't done correctly it will look bad. Paints hard to match. I'm also considering redoing the stripes and or removing them altogether.

Go for the carbon fiber look or mate black, or just get a new car

 

[reptilla]

And where would I buy this new car you speak of...?

 

[blwn93gt]

hummmmmm, i know this guy that works at a local dealership, heard he gave you an awesome deal on your benz, maybe use him again

 

[mattstang]

Doesn't it go the other way? Don't you have it on bass ackwards. If your not going to match the yellow, I would paint it black just like the Roling Stones suggested.

If you really like things want to be different, mount it under the hood with the studs sticking up

I think I'll look for a pretty one next time...salesperson i mean...Matt, never thought about that ..emmmm

 

[mattstang]

You will just have to remove a couple of thingies that are sitting on top of the engine to make it work. It will be better performance because it will be less weight.
The problem dealing with a gorgeous saleswomen is when the transaction is all done you have no idea what you bought or how much you paid for it.

Thumbs up for grabber orange

 

[reptilla]

actually i like the grabber orange idea...Matt, you are so right, the prettier the worst deal ya get.

 

[AdirondackFox08]

Lol, if nothing else this thread is full of hilarity, I should expect nothing else when something involves you and Dave, Tom.

Anyhow, I think some kind of black would be your best bet, whether it's satin or gloss. Satin would probably go with your front air dam.

I personally don't like those thin stripes on the car, I'd take them off and paint the scoop black. If you still want stripes, I'd have thick stripes painted on black too. That would look sick with or without stripes but the scoop needs to be black.

I like the studs up idea..

 

[mattstang]

Hey Tom, that is 2 votes for the studs up idea. How many votes do you need before you do it.

I also like the paints scheme of most of the people. Paint the car flat black and paint the hood scoop yellow. Is that right??

 

[reptilla]

what !!! did a bunch of you guys bump your head or something...I'm thinking YES...:smash:

 

[mattstang]

Hey you were asking for some ideas and we are giving them to you. If you don't want the studs, use pop rivets. If you do mount the scoop under the hood, your going to have to install a center drain. Now this is really getting pricey since you may need to call in a plumber.

 

[reptilla]

Matt, get to the doctor appt you need.
