Although I do like the stripes over the scoop on the Shelbys... I think it would look better cut-out on yours. IDK, maybe it's the red on black that doesn't look right...

here's a shot of mine just for reference. I have a black/red combo, too. I redid my hood stripes and removed the hood scoop stripes in the process. I kinda like it. The scoop now matches the car from a side view. Comes down to personal preference, I guess. It looks good either way IMO.

+1 The other way around makes the scoop looked tacked on.

Add another for the same reason. I think you'll really appreciate it once you do the calipers.

+2 Good decision on keeping the stripes. The hood scoop blends in better. And its very rare that anyone sees the car from the side angle anyways. Its usually just the back they always see.

On a side note your car is wanting me to change my white stripes to red. Well done

My stripes go under the scoop because they were there first, but had I done them the same day, still would just because they lay easier that way.

Either way looks good though
.

If you ever decided to trim & remove them from the scoop, be careful with the blade if they are the same pieces as on the scoop.
