Time for a change

As most of you know, shortly after I got the Stang I put on a xenon hood scoop.
I've been very happy with the look, I think scoops look good on the stang. (obviously others do too, as Ford now offers that option).

One thing that has bugged me is that the xenon is held on only with 3m tape.
It has held securely, but I do get a little expansion/contraction with temperature changes, so it does allow water to seep under.

I looked into getting it permanently attached, but I don't think that's cost effective with this scoop.

I also looked into picking up a permanently mounted scoop, or just a quality hood with the scoop molded in, ala Cervini's, but that looks to be way out of my budget.

So, I think I'm going to do a 180, and go a different direction.

I'm going to remove the scoop, and on Friday will have some vinyl stripes put on the hood. Just the hood.
I'm going to go with black, because I have the black abs delete panel on the back, as well as a black gas door, and I like how black looks with the Windveil.
Also, because of the delete panel, as well as funds, I'm not going to stripe the whole car.

Here is a link to the style of striping I chose.
I spoke to a local guy who is highly recommended, and he said he can cut that pattern and install for less than if I were to order from Graphic Express.
I just put the link so you could see what I chose.

Wish me luck.

I think it'll look great! Black will go very well with your current color! All the best... be sure to post some photos when done
