Tasteful or Tacky?

[davew833]

Here's a pic of a temporary hood fix for my '92 pearl. Due to my own carelessness, I caused a pretty good sized dent right in the middle of the hood. Not having the $400-500 to have it professionally fixed and painted, I did the bodywork myself and painted a center insert with flat black primer as shown. I then got some white commercial-grade reflective material (used for vehicle wrap graphics) and hand-cut and applied the SVX decal. It's not perfect, but looks good from 5 feet or more. I had always intended to have the whole hood repainted without the stripe, but I kinda like it. What do you think?

To each his own. I don't mind it but I wouldn't do that on mine.

not bad... I would say lose the decal, doesn't look bad in just flat black

I dont like it, but i can respect the fact others do, as above each to his own

Hmm....If you use a non reflective decal, and mabey gloss black paint so it better matches the trunk / roofline, it would be REAL sharp. Doesnt look bad and I kinda like the idea. Might look just as nice with a scoop too

I think you should repaint the hood instead.
