Opinion needed on hood vent

[Tomster]

Yes, that was the one I was thinking of.

What looks funny is the support down the center. When @50 Deep finishes his new hood vent with the support underneath I think it will look better.

Please elaborate on the support down the center comment.

I suppose the colors involved have a great deal to do with how well the idea works on a given car but after seeing some vents painted, I have to say I like all black better.

Like I said the first things that caught my eye was the support down the center of the vent being black opposed to be red to give it trhat finish look, which is what I was going for and then add the pinstripe to finish the inner support look and I was going to leave the vents black but then being a couple of places wanted crazy prices for 7 pieces of vinyl I thought of painting the center support and the idea kept evolving, which is why the post is here. I like both looks painted and finished, and finished down the center and the outter ends left alone. Its the only part of the car that has the unfinished look IMO.

See right down the center is a support @50 Deep is working on a vent with the support underneath so it doesn’t show.

Ah I get it now, I thought you were talking about the center support but wanted to make sure. Personally I like the center the way it looks opposed to having the vent be complete across.

I got about 2 weeks to think about this before it heads to the shop for its Complete Ceramic coating from soup to nuts. Or I may tell him to omitt the vent until I decide.

Decisions....Decisions.

Not the best job by any means but I think it tells me what I needed to know.

I like the all black louver vent better. Make it all CF, that would look nice too.

KB How about all black vent but with 1" red body color down the vent spine? Maybe a compromise?

Well....

Just showed my wife KB's pics my pics the classic silver, and she says she doesnt like the vent painted, accordin to her she says the black vent give the hood a 3d effect where painting the ends the same as the hood makes it more 2D and makes you focus on the stripes. When she said that I could see what she was talking about.

She did like the idea of painting the center support red but since I have pin stripes she says I should do without it, which i dont know if that would look good at all. So go figure the wife throws a monkey wrench into the whole thought process...ugh...

Mike: But she has good eyes, a sense of design, and I agree with her completely.

Sounds like 'thems marching orders.

The way i see it, you have seen all the variations, and you still are unsure.....I think that says it right there.......leave it alone.

 

[Tomster]

Yes, as an old wise IP once stated.
