yeah stripes are painted on cost around 2500 for two colors
Profile Pics? And are the hood pins required? Black Mamba says yes, and I'm trying to avoid them!

The quality is nice, paint matched nice, they didn't paint the underside, not happy about that and some residue from packing material on hood shood wipe or buff off once I get it all lined up. Need to purchase larger fender washers for hood bolts then they supplied. I put the side scoops and louvers on one side as well as the hood, haven't gotten around to spoiler.

Hi Pony Express. Can you post some pictures? I would love to see this hood from different angles, especially with the side scoops and window louvers. Thanks!

I've been looking at all my hood options and "fake" scoop options. I went through this whole thread and I'd like to say your car alone sold me on this hood! Thanks for posting your pics! I love the stripes and hood pins on it! Thank you sir!

$2500 to paint on stripes. That's a non-starter! Yikes.

The only problem I have with the hood pins would be the metal pin/hood string. It just seems like while driving, it will slowly scratch the paint. Outside of that, hood looks awesome!

I believe they would use vinyl coated SS cable which hopefully the cable could be replaced if/when the coating deteriorated.

I was going to say that $2500 was not just for stipes on hoo, but hood paint plus second color (stripes). But then I wonder if his car already had stripes or he added them with the new hood mod.

Agree, we NEED more pics of this DIB w/ hood from different angles. Don't just tease us! :lol:

This is exactly what happens. I had a 1969 Mustang with hood pins from the factory. After some time (about 4 years they did mar the paint). I removed the cable. It was just another fake doo-dad.

Our hoods do not need any hood pins; they are direct bolt on replacements.

Good to know, thanks! Now two more things: How is the RAM air channel to the airbox design going? and when is your next sale?
