I added the Twin Turbo hood stripes today. I wanted something subtle and I was thinking silver woukd be too subtle on white so I ordered gray. I'm not sold on it now that I see it. Please give me honest opinions. If I wanted something this noticable I could have just went with black, at least I have some black on the car already. There isn't anything gray on it.
looks good too me ...
I like it, but I would go with black. On the full shot, its not tacky and looks quite subtle. But think black would still be subtle enough yet stay with the theme of the car....
I think the stripes accentuate the power bulge perfectly. Draws just a little bit of attention to something others might not notice otherwise....
Nice touch, Don! I like the silver a lot, but black would work quite nicely too if you decided to do that later on :)
Don... Placement and install looks great. If your exterior includes no more gray then I'd say do them in black. That said, it may be worth looking at them for a few days to be sure you are unhappy with gray all together as opposed to unhappy with the shade of gray. The level of contrast is enough to know that standing out may well actually work better than subtle. I love the text in the stripes and they definitely add definition to your hood lines, which I see as an improvement.
BTW, Count me in the OC camp too!
The grey looks good, but seems out of place. Black would look better I think. Good job on the install though.
It really looks good on there,makes the hood scoop really stand out,and lined up pretty well and enjoy it.
I like it! It all really depends on what your future cosmetic mods are. As an example if you painted your rims gunmetal gray, I think the gray sticker would flow nicely. If you painted the rims black, then I would suggest going with a black stripe. Good luck.
The gray looks good but the black would look very good to, but would not SHOw-OFF to much. Here my car with silver SHO hood decal.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but where did you get the stripes from?
Ok guys, what color would you recommend for the Tux black?
O got them on ebay. He keeps the black and silver that say SHO in stock but can do many colors and also the Twin turbo by request. His user name is 57belairboy. I went through him directly and just paid via paypal. You can contact him at KTJDKREJCI@AOL.COM

I was thinking maybe white with black letters. If they're not too much money, maybe I'll order 2 or 3 different ones and see what I like best when I get them.

I wonder if they could match the aluminum color of the wheel faces and just let the tux black come through for the letters?

Silver
FoMoCoSHO .... they have silver and gray for sure , the lettering can be cut out so the paint shows through . They made my S H O hood stripes that way .
I paid $35 for mine. I think if you go with black or silver that say SHO they are $30.
I am still feeling silver (preferably metallic silver) on your particular car Don.
Looks great. Hard to tell by picture, but several color would look good on white.
Here's a shot of my stripes, I too wanted subtle.

Markssho really like the SHO stripes on the hood,makes the scoop really stand out and more aggressive looking,good luck.
Nice one, Mark!
