Well, I'm stubborn, so I'll be the one trying it. Once I have the mods lined up, I'll build one thread of all my mods. Stay tuned. Everything happening between now and December.

I don't think that hood is right for stripes, it may look a little odd because of the vents. JMO

Here you go. I think I like the hood only stripe better. I think that the matte will look alright but not really necessary. Black with matte black is always cool though.

The silver one looks good because it is a convertible so no need for top stripes and the CS chin.

As you have a dark mustang already matte black stripes might not have a great visual effect. Your mustang looks great the way it is.

Another thing that sets your car off are the chrome wheels.If you had black spoke or argent color rims you'd prolly be good with the flat matt finish on the hood. Move on to a performance mod and make that black beauty run....like some 4:10 gears.

I already have C&L cold air and bamachips 93 race tune. Im up in the air about my next mod. IM thinking either Agent 47 mirrors, a navigation system to replace the shaker, or 3:73's

That looks good, but I think that is cause it fits the theme of your car better than it would mine
