Default Decorating my hood..Any suggestions?

i dont know. i'm just stumped. i look at the front of my car..Beautiful car, but the front is just missing something....i was thinking of a new hood, or hoodscoop, or decal *not a stripe that goes over the car*, but before i go spending my money, does anybody have any ideas or links to some place that might sell a decal, or such, that will spruce up the look of my hood? thanks guys..

oh, P.S., i installed my cold air intake...and its great!! the install i had to have done by a mechanic..it turns out the antifreeze overflow container..had to be moved to the drivers side of the engine bay..and that required leaking of the fluid and retubbing and im just not a mechanic lol...car runs GREAT though!...ALOT faster and better running...like, if you've ever ran your car for a while...after it gets hot it gets doggyish...it seems like it loses 30 horsepower...this makes everything better and the car feels wayyy more powerful while going 60+...its pretty awesome

Graphic Express Stripes and Decals - Mustang Decal - Mustang Decals - Camaro Decal - Automotive decals - Ford stripe - General Motors - GM - AMC - Mopar - Plymouth stripe - Dodge stripe - factory replacement Graphics has all kinds of possibilities. Congrats on the CAI install. Big difference, huh?

I've got the xenon hood scoop and like the proportions very much. I think you'll be happy with it. I have absolutely no problems with mine.
I have some good shots in my gallery if you're interested.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Is your scoop flush with the back edge of the hood??

No, I set it in from the back edge of the hood by about 1/4".

Thank you. I had the hood scoop put on by the body shop when they did all the paint work. I figured the car was there and they were painting the parts, pay the man his 20 bucks and be done with it. I haven't had any problems with it lifting off or deforming in the sun, so it was definitely worth it.
With all the paint and body work I had done at the time, I felt like I was on Overhaulin' when I went to pick it up. It looked like a completely different car. The scoop makes a huge difference. I think you'll like it. I'll be looking for the pictures.

I prefer magnetic. I sometimes like to change positions.
