I'm having some paint work done already next week...seriously thinking about having the center of the hood painted in gunmetal grey to match my wheels...similar to this:

Thoughts?

I like that in the sports hoods but not so much on the regular unless its a full body stripe.

No way I'd do the whole body...just trying to throw an accent color on it.

Why not wheel color matching RT stripes? i think that look pretty sweet and evened out.

I like both options they are a little different than normal stuff we see on everyday trucks.

It might be because that picture looks photoshopped but I'm not crazy about, then I look at this and I'm change my mind quickly (although 2500s hoods are different)

Gloss right? Matte finishes BLOW for upkeep on a DD.

I think it'll look good the way you want to do it.

If you can do something to smooth out the front, and not have a square edge like the above... I say do it (I've been thinking aboot it too)

I vote no. Keep it slick and clean looking. Clean looking sleeper with subtle hints that it is indeed wicked ie: sound of a supercharger whining lol
