Thanks man. The hood was such a good deal, I couldnt pass it up. They normally sell for like $400+, I found this one down the road from me for $80! Much better than my stock hood that was bent in half, lol

Thanks man! I thought about doin the racing stripes the whole length of the truck, but I've already done that on this truck before, I'd rather do something new this time...

I think the second pic is something that can stay In style for years. Me personally don't like having stripes everywhere. Reminds me of fast and the furious lol.

This might give you an idea of what it would look like with the stripes. I feel that the green is going to be very dominant on the black. Keeping it to a minimum will allow your eyes to look at the truck and not be over powered by the green stripes.

That truck is sweet!! I've seen it a few times around the internet, that truck's actually part of where I got the side stripes idea from. I'd kinda like to do something a little more complex than that, but still fairly clean and simple, ya know? I'm tempted to just leave the hood black and do just the side stripes...whaddya think?
Gosh, so many options, so little decision-making!! lol
