how about the orange fiber mesh in the hood scoop? that would look sick in my opinion and then on the side put like 3800 on the side of the scoop?

and yeah the new paint is coming with the black racing stripes, just gotta get the money together.

yes they are vinyl but look good and they are black during the day but glow white when hit by head lights or camera flash
I now you never saw my car in person but when driving down the road at night it looked so cool man !! to the cars approaching mine or behind my car people just don't expect it at all and they will make a effort just to see how it was done

Definitely put the orange stripes back on. It looked awesome with them and having the car just white is a bit too plain

I had thought of reflective black stripes on mine. After getting badge overlays in reflective black for the Impala I have fallen in love with it. Just wasn't sure how "bright" they would show when the light hit them, besides I didn't want to be a copy cat. Not sure where you got your stripes or what their black is like, the overlays from reflective concepts remind me some what of a flip-flop paint. As you walk past they sort of change from black to copper to a sort of root beer. I got a few pieces of scrape from Matt and covered the bowties on the Impala and made some homemade overlays for the bowties on the wheels of the MC too

http://www.autotrimdesign.net/detail...ics_Kit_1.html is where I got mine from and they were great to work with for sure the brightness of the stripes depends on the type of lights it is being hit with (regular ,silver star ,hid , camera flash is brightest it will be )

Yeah, It definetly stood out as your car when it was stripped with orange. I dont think anything can beat a clean white monte though.
