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.
