Thanks...Black...wow that is a really hard color to paint, seems like every dust partical or bug really stands out...
The hood, well got the SS scoop from ebay and fiber glassed it on...only way I could think to give me some room, the Air Cleaner was hitting the hood, had to cut a hole out, so yes that Ram air is fuctional... |

I really like that scoop on there you did a nice job of blending it to make it look smooth and flowing! _________________

I'm always impressed with people who take the time to make a good paint job. It's not easy! Especially in black.  |
