Default Added Carbon Fiber hood Stinger yesterday

I was a little skeptical putting this on myself and wasting $170 but went for it and I'm really happy with the look. I got it from Phoenix Graphix which is the same company Mark Wormer from Graveyard Cars uses for his restorations.
Here's a before pic.

Did you remove the hood vent to install the film?

Yeah you have to. The decal wraps around the top of the scoop.

I have the APR carbon fiber hood vent. Wonder if it would look good together. I’m looking at stinger options.

I went with gloss black and wished I'd gone flat black.
