Is this black hood stripe OEM??
« on: July 10, 2009 - 09:44:27 PM »
Is the black out on this hood an OEM decal, paint, or non-OEM?
IF it's an OEM decal, who would be a recommended supplier?
thanks.
Phil

Me too.  I think it looks much better painted on.  We also wrapped it all the way around to get the raised areas that extend down the sides of the louvers at the back of the hood

Good info. 
For paint color, do you suggest semi-gloss or gloss??
Thanks for all the replies.

Mine was done in flat black, and it looks great.

72hemi and 73Chally:

Do you have a template or some measurements that you used to lay out this black-out area?

I am wanting to paint mine on, but we are struggling with how to dimension it.

Thanks in advance for the advice anyone can offer!

No template.  My buddy just eye-balled it as he laid down a strip of 1/4" tape, keeping it just inside the curved edge where it flattens out.  It's not something I could ever do because of the shakes, but it looks great.  I never even considered a decal.

We didn't use a template either, just laid it out where we thought it looked good.
