    coastie, look at advance auto, they have a temporary duplicolor spray paint, you can paint your hood with it and see how you like it, then just to go the pressure washer and sponge and clean it right off

    Coastie, so far, I love what you have done with your VX, but I will be honest here. I am not feeling the black hood with everything else you have going on. Now, that said, I think you should Photochop another photo with the whole hood AND insert painted black. I think that will give it a more "authentic" rally look.

    Or better yet, what about a black hood, white painted insert?

    Just some ideas.

    eXactly.

    If the WHOLE hood+insert matched perfectly with the cladding, you might be on to something.
    But if your going to have 3 different shades of the same color happening, well...

    Yeah, and thinking about it further, if you paint the hood black, you are probably going to need to paint your cladding black to get it to look right.

    I think you need to make a point of coming to the Mammoth Lakes meet next month so we can take a look at your VX in person!
