Plasti-dipped my cowl hood!

So I ordered plasti dip for my emblems and such. And I was looking at the hood scoop and thought it would look okay so I started using pin stripe decal tape to tape it off. And it looked amazing! Here's the aftermath of my destruction!

sorry man I don't like that at all. It's way too distracting my eyes can't look away for the giant black "schnoz" Maybe try just the sides of the cowl.

Well luckily it peels off. Not permanent. Already ordered more to mess around with. I have a few things I wanna try before painting all of it on.

Looks good. But I think I actually like your first hood more.


Which one do you like better?

I like both versions. Too bad the tail lights don't line up better.

I like the second one better. The first one was too much. It might have looked better if it was just the top of the cowl. Two stripes on top of just the cowl might look good. Something like this:

I did like the first one but it did look really bulky. If I had done just the top like someone said then it wouldn't look at big and bulky. But I like the second one better because it's so different, you can only donor on a big cowl hood like Kaenan. I plan on leaving it on for a while then painting it on for real later on. Any lore input? The good and bad?

Why do the taillights look like they don't line up in the pics?

It's because the trunk sticks out more. Gotta buy more washers to space out the tail lights.

Wow. That kit is expensive as hell I bet & it doesnt even line up right out of the box? I'd be kind of pissed :\ the rest of it looks good! Your car looks great.
