So, I will be ordering an SRT hood very soon, and will have to redo my vinyl. I want to redo the Hash stripes with BLACKOUT underneath. But would like to add other things to it. What would you recommend? It will be ghosted on (flat black) so it won't be too noticeable. Just subtle changes.

Also, I will be purchasing red LEDs. Probably a strip for behind the SRT grille, my actual grille, and then interior accents that stay on, or bump to the bass. Any thoughts?

Just trying to get an idea of what is out there to see where I want to go.

Are you wanting the stripes to hide as much as the first set? Im wondering if they are more charcoal would you get a better response. The Leds sounds cool and the hood insert has a decent place to mount them. Gonna try thinking of anything else but you have a pretty good plan already.

the led's behind the srt hood opening will be cool. Seen it on other trucks. I love the look of flat black decals on a black truck

What about adding a gloss black stripe under the flat black, sort of making a line around them or even red behind it.
Sort of like this

^^ oooo yeah I like that idea!!! A red background to the flat black stripes would look killer and go with your theme really good!

The only thing with that is what you will mostly see is the red outline on a black truck

If I had my way to start the truck would have two dark red rally racing stripes going down it by now. And lots of other matching pieces. But was told no. Lol. So, just trying to keep the blackout now on the exterior.

Only 17. So. Got a straight up no from my mom. Haha. And the girlfriend of almost a year and a half gave me an "ehh...". Lol. So, decided to go with the all blacked out look on the exterior. Still living out the red and black on the inside though. ;). And the engine bay. Lol.

Oo. I like that. Haha. Still don't think the slight red would be okayed. Maybe one day when I get bored of the all black look. If that's possible!

I have seen the marble look done with purple on a black car it looked awesome. I plan on doing something like this on one of my projects some time, maybe the 60 Dodge pu I want to bag.

If you are wantin to stick with black, then I think the flat black would still be cool, it's something that you have to look at twice to see it most of the time.. pretty cool!
