new stripes

Hey all just wanted to show off my new stripes. I got the red horseshoe with pin stripe, rocker panels, hash marks, tinted lights, and blue tinted fog lights, and carbon fiber hood vent inserts. Whatcha think?!

Stellar! I like it all. Good choices. The CF inserts look really good.
What's on the back/trunk though? any stripes back there?

You should get the flush hood scoop to match the stripe

Yeah I agree. You're missing your scoop

You definitely need the hood scoop...the stripes leave a void on the hood.

The hash marks make it way too busy for me. The rest is nice.

def needs a hood scoop or a shaker hood.

I think the Roush hood scoop would look nice.

Careful with the Roush type scoop...if it's a "fake" sealed type scoop, it captures water when it rains or you wash the car, and when you drive off, it splatters against the windshield and back of the hood.

I had one on my 2005 F150, and while it looked nice, I did not like the fact that the seal against the hood was not great.

That's what metro vac-n-blo's or leaf blowers are for.

Fake scoops are goofy, IMO. If it's functional, that's another story.
I like it the way it is.

I agree...they just don't work IMO. Never been a fan of the fender stripes. The other stripes look fine however.

I'm sorry but I'll go against the grain here. I don't like it at all. My 2 cents are worth nothing... But the stripe color along with the design just clashes with silver and makes it look gawdy.

Red on silver, you can't go wrong with that combo.
