Im considering having the hood painted semi flat black on just the raised portion of the stock hood, from the lines that cut down the hood to the inside of the light buckets. A concept rooting from the 69-70 Mach and Boss 'Stangs.

Im also interested in not only blacking out the rear spoiler but the entire trunk lid. This is also an old school touch and would definitely separate me from the simple black out panels between just the tail lights.

Everything would be topped off with Rear Window Louvers by MRT for that Mach 1 look I miss from my old car.

Anyways, if somebody could add in some flat black onto these above mentioned surfaces to my pictures found below, that would be super.

I agree. The back looks like you swapped trunk lids with a different car and have yet to get it painted. (I know it is only a photochop but that's what I would say if you were to get it done)

Agree, the back looks pretty hideous... the front is ok, but the whole hood in black like Roger was saying would look better IMO....

I'd say go with painting just the truck deck and spoiler. not the whole trunk. That way its more of a nod to the 69 Boss 302.

Just a thought.

I would black out the top of the trunk lid and between the tail lights but not around the 3rd brake light.

I got this done to mine not to long ago. The black was supposed to be a satin black, but it kind of turned out a little glossy. I think it would look cool on your car as well, but in the back just done between the tail lights.

If I were to only black out the topside of the trunk lid I believe it would be a better match to the hood if I black it out all the way across, the hood I mean.

Instead of just painting the stock hood, I'd get an aftermarket hood and paint it, or paint the stock hood while putting a scoop on it.
