Its cool that you photoshopped it, thanks for giving me credit for the photo.

And I say do it. The SS scoop is nice, but the dual color combo really sets it off.

thnx - so far ive asked 20 people and all have said go for it - as for color ya im gonna look at some swatches- im looking for a rich deep silver - i dont want it to stand out too much but i want it to be noticable- i think cars should make u look twice

anyway - im decided- have yet to get one negative responce- i was just hesitant cause a decal can be removed- paint stays - but is 10x nicer

I wouldnt if it were my car. It looks good, just not my style. I say go for it though since everyone seems to dig it. Its something different and nice atleast.

Looks great, go for it! Are you going to continue the stripe over the rear spoiler?

I was going to do that set up only in red..

However.. for some reason it doesn't appeal to me as much on the 96-97 SS hoods as it does the lower profile 98+ SS style.. so I reconsidered.

I would definatly continue a single solid stripe down the center of your car. That would look badass.
