UM that looks great. I would go with it. Missed you at the races this weekend. It was cold as a witches ***. Seemed like every car at the race were pulling wheelstands. It was crazy.

I have seen that picture coleman posted before, and personally, I think that is the best one. imswheel's are pretty good, too. And while we're "voting", I like postban's supercharged letters on the side of the buldge on the hood.

Here is a local company that did decals for the hood as shown on this thread:

Postban. May I make a suggestion. Put your 'Supercharged' emblem on the rear deck or fender under the Cobra. The hood lines are strong without it. Just a suggestion. I covered my Ford holes with mine. See below.

I still haven't heard who does the decals for the hood. I would prefer decals in case I want to flip back for whatever reason. No, not for resale. Never.

Yeah, the euro tail lights do seem a bit pork-fried. I think I like the stripes best in coleman's post. I think they'd probably work best on non-metallic paint though. Stripes seem to look out of place against metallic paints.

I thought about getting something like this for my car. Except I want the decals to fade as they go toward the windsheild. So it doesn't look as drastic. Kind of like how the Saleen stripes look.

Those stripes would look even better if they wrapped around the front bumper.

I like Coleman's idea, too. If my car was white, by the way, I would go with black accents. I'd use maybe a medium/light gray so that they more blend in rather than jump out. And I'd have the inner area painted in a gradated pattern -- darker at the front and lighter towards the back. It looks like the car in Coleman's post did that.

The stripes are nice, but would have looked a lot better if he covered the entire vent area vs. half of it. :rollseyes

Do it, Do it, Do it. The car will look killer with that black gas cap that you have. Man that looks so cool.

Not my bag, but if you like it, go for it.

Colemans version doesn't look half bad.
