Paint it. You drive a Mustang, so leave the unpainted hoods for those import tuner guys and gals.

paint it but leave the hood scoop black, with the center piece under it black, that would look sweet!!! Especially with your color combination, then maybe go with a black spoiler too Smile

It depends, find a bunch of local body shops and ask about just painting the outer area and then spraying your fenders lightly so that the paint blends in and the hood doesnt look different, or brighter than the fenders which is what might happen.........believe its called over-spray

I like it... I would paint it - and it's looking a bit short in the front? Could be just the picture... but that's a beautiful hood!!

Subject: Re: new hood what do u think? Thu Aug 28, 2008 1:36 pm

judi it actually lines up just like my old hood and i just got a quote for 489 bucks does that seem a bit too high?

Nice hood! I would pain the hood to match the car, however leave the hoodscoop black. Your in woodbridge, I have a shot in E. Windsor that would paint your hood and the rear spoiler for at least $150 cheaper. Let me know I give you the shop name and number.

Where in Woodbridge are you from? I'm in Woodbridge too and had some stuff painted at the place on Rahway Ave sorta by the white church.
They did a really good job and it was one of the cheaper ones around that I could find.

I used to live in Keasbey back when I was in high school. Judy Drive

Now I'm right off of main street in woodbridge. I paid about $500 for the Cervini's upper and lower scoops and rear spoiler. It was mostly labor b/c the Cervini's parts take ALOT of prep work before painting.

The place is called Heavenly Bodyworks, 738 Rahway Ave, Woodbridge
