I would definitely like to see the car first, although often highly contrasting colors or exaggerated graphics on the exterior of a vehicle can come across looking tacky or out of place. Tread with caution!!!

Than ur hood wouldn't match ur car color lol

I think it would look a bit tacky/rice. But that's my opinion. :)

You got a point there. Low & slow is better than stock & slow.
