| | My biggest problem is finding the right kind of stripes to go with my Roush Hood scoop. They don't make sets for it. They have whole roush sets or whole GT sets. I guess i would need to buy both? |

| just tape it around and paint them on. put a 1" tape stripe in the middle, and measure whatever width you want to each side and put another tape stripe on each side. cover the rest with news papers. sand it with about 800-1500 sand paper, put a coat of primer wait for 30 mins, put another coat of primer and wait for another 30 mins. wet send it a lil, then put a coat of whatever color paint you want, wait for 30 mins, before every next coat, don't put more than 3 otherwise it would be too think. wetsand it if needed. and put 2 light coats of clear coat. use dupli color paint, they stick even if it's cold. and only do it if it's nice and dry that day and the day after. and don't do it under a tree.
