Hood Blackout

Hood Blackout
Is there any place that sells a vinyl black out stripe for your hood? Like this: http://www.graphic-express.com/K105-...od_stripes.asp except attached in the middle so it's just one big stripe. I've seen it on a few cars and want to put it on mine but i'm wondering if it has to be painted on.

I was talking to a vinyl store a few days ago about this very subject. They concluded that because this style decal is being applied to a 3 dimensional surface, it would be very difficult to achieve without access to a CAD/CAM drawing of the hood.

Thanks for the interest in the hood graphic, if there is any questions I can answer feel free to email me. I will check back on here from time to time to see if there is any questions I can answer. I think that the Steeda style will be the next hood graphic that I will be trying.

- Does the graphic have cutouts for the windshield washer nozzles or does the buyer need to cut them out?
- Does the graphic go on in one piece (large center blackout as well as the pinstripe surround) or do you apply the pinstripe after you have the center section on?
- Would you be willing to do a group buy price for the members of TMS?
Thanks,

The ebay listing says this is a two piece black out with a pins tripe surrounding it. The blacout piec has a seam down the middle.
I would be concerenedwith the seam showing and eventually separating /lifting as the decals age and shrink slightly.
I have a vinyl lacout on my trunk betwweene the lights and after a year, it's showing a significant amount of wear. The vinyl attracts dust and is easily cratched.
This summer I am removing the vinyl blackout panel on the trunk and having it and the hood painted.

Ok, I will try to answer all of the questions in on post. I will work on some closeup pictures of the seam in a bit. The washer nozzles are pre cut, that was the first thing I did when working on this decal. The blackout is a 2 piece kit. The pinstripes are installed at the same time as the center sections. The kit does come with application tape over it to keep the pinstripes in line. I would be more than willing to do a group buy. I will take off $5.00 per person that you get in the group buy, for example if you get 3 people they will be $85.00 ea. If you get 5 to buy they will be $75.00. I will go down to $50.00 if you can get 10 people in your group buy. That would be 1/2 off!!! Good luck.

dynamicmustangGT, if you don't trust my work, you can check out my ebay feedback. I have been doing this for a while now and I have nothing but confidence in my work. I stand behind my products 100%. I have owned 5 Mustangs from V6's to Cobras. As you can tell they are the preferred car for me and my business.
