The cool thing about my opinion is you should not care about it.

I've thought about it as well on mine. Miami blue is a strong color so the contrast along one hood vent might look nice.

I think on the facelift hood it is more appropriate though, as it's definitely broader.

Ha, I may ditch the stripes eventually and go with your idea next.

Side profile showing painted vents. Not as dynamic as your stripes Cgo but they do help break up the hood visually.

Yes I know, wheels are covered in brake dust... lol

I guess u were inspired by this:


Regardless, looks good. Car didn't need it in my opinion, but no mis-steps here. Nice.

hahaha, yes, yes I was! I almost bought that very car. I ended up passing on it because the dealership removed the rear lowering springs due to rubbing. They said they were working on getting different springs and install them but I was a few states away. Good find!

@Therock88

Hey, where'd you get this decal from? I don't imagine it will be easy to install but I have a good PPF/vinyl guy but I was looking on eBay and couldn't find one similar to this in terms of size/style. Thanks.

Hey there. It was custom cut for me. I went to the auto wrap shop, told them what I wanted and they made 4 versions digitally on my car, I picked the one you see on my car, they programmed the machine and cut them out.
The shop used the very faint hood creases as a width guide.

They also did solid black on the front splitter. I think both your car and the P450 convertible in the link are sharp as hell. And the black stripe adds a lot. Although that SVO Sorrento yellow is my second favorite color (behind Atacama orange), I think it is just too much yellow without something to break it up a little, such as the black stripes.

BTW, I've been keeping an eye on that CPO convertible in the link. The dealership dropped the price $1,501 a few days ago from $71,501 to $69,999. Of course, in Florida most dealerships rip you off with the state maximum $999 junk doc fee, so it's almost a wash anyway.
