Hood decal help

I'm installing a CDC shaker on my mustang this week and would like to get this graphic for the hood. Does anyone know where to get this one? I've looked all over and can only find the narrow one.''

Yes I've searched,
Thanks

Paint it, it will look better and not fade....and most paint shops won't charge much just to do a hood especially if they don't have to blend the paint.

I agree, Paint it. You'll be much happier, especially cause your cutting the hood for the shaker.

But, if you'd rather decal; check out www.GraphicExpress.com , besides the stock stuff, they do personalize graphic's.

Not trying to get in your business, but which ever way you go, do that first then cut your hood and install your shaker system.

I'm adding Shelby GT Style Silver Stripes to my Black 05 GT and will have to remove the trim ring to get them installed.

Just my thoughts......

If you lived up here in Denver I could hook you for paint just like that graphic for about $500.00 and another $250.00 for striping the whole car.My God-son Mike is head painter at his shop and takes on side work.It takes about three days.

FYI - I wanted to do that but in Vista blue on our car, and my vinyl guy said no way for customers to do it without lots of practice. The arcs and curves involved will make your life a nightmare trying to install it without it wrinkling, and while it could be done, I'd suggest a professional install if you're going vinyl. By the time you add up the vinyl cost and the cost of install, I think you'd be at the paint price, as much as I'd love to sell you a vinyl kit...

And that said, I'd do it after the shaker install - just remove the edge trim, paint, and re-install it. That way if there are any "oops" int he cutting process, you won't see them in the fresh paint.
