well I guess I'll give my 2 cents!  I think that either 1) paint the hood the body color or 2) black out the whole hood like an AAR or the duster with the 340 stamped on it.  But to leave the hood like that . . . . . looks cool but it still needs something  ::)  ::)  ;D    8)

I like the idea of putting 340\whatever number on the hood at a slant......only have it the same color as the car body...that would help..............since its already painted i wouldn't waste money on getting paint clear and all that i wouldjust put a decal on it..

Side note Looks like your taking up more than one parking spot  ;D ;D just givin ya hard time..

Plus whats its got under it.

dodgefreak.  Yeah I have had my hood messed with once!!! >:( >:( >:(  But I am usually around and the car is garraged so I don't get to many problems.  But I do reccomend getting just the front locking pins with the hood latch.

Flyusmc, nice looking car....Like everyone else already stated, I'd personally go with painting it body color or going with the call-out on the side of the hood.

Andy... DROOL!!!! :o ;D Hit my sweet spot there... hehe!! Do the stripe that runs just above the body fold line, I believe it's the Formula S stripe.. ::) do that in black, leave the hood as it is... but do add the 340 sticker!! That's one sharp car!! ;D ;D
