What do you think? Or does it look stupid...
View attachment 97396 I am thinking about getting my Explorer hood done like this. The stripe would be on the hood and back but not the roof.

Thanks for your vote of confidence! Just have to play with Photoshop and see what it looks like before...Thanks for the mention @Eric F - This was done by Rage Wraps in Edinah, IL. They suggested it, I was a little apprehensive but it turned out great. I say go for it @jsgoofn!

I think it will look good with a hood design. I like how @jonnoriega's look. They stand out, but aren't super noticeable, either (and I've seen it in person for what that's worth.) Actually going to do my wife's Pitch Black '16 Charger with Matte Black hood stripes after seeing Jon's Ex. Just haven't decided on the 'R/T' or 'Hemi' design yet. Of course I'm hoping that next spring we'll be putting an Scat Pack hood on it so the decision might not make much difference, anyway.
At any rate I'm hoping one the hood stripes are on the Charger the wife lets me do the same color scheme to my Ex. *crosses fingers*
So you've seen a red one with the hood design like @jonnoriega? I really like his design too but I was thinking that it might look unfinished with only the smaller design since it would be so obvious on the red color versus the subdued on the black color.I think it will look good with a hood design.

I'm guessing you mean like the 2nd link in post #4.A good idea to consider could be wrapping the scoop in the middle of the hood with some kind of matte black. I'm talking about the shallow valley thing in the center of the hood.
I just thought I'd throw that link in there as an idea knowing that it isn't really what you were after. Good luck with your project. I don't believe an Ex has been done before to the extent that the Mustang was.Thanks, Peter...I did see that before but the pic is pretty dark.
Thanks! Knowing how I am, it will take a lot of back and forth before I do this...and of course a few $$ to do it with!I just thought I'd throw that link in there as an idea knowing that it isn't really what you were after.

That's what I get for posting early in the morning, haha. Haven't seen a red one in person with @jonnoriega's stripes, no, but I've seen some in pics that I've liked. I was trying to say I've seen Jon's in person and I really like the look.So you've seen a red one with the hood design like @jonnoriega?
