    I was thinking of doing this. I also want to do accross the top of the truck too. I kinda agree with Bart tho. Maybe I will still do it and paint the Rising Sun on the insert.

    I like it. I think it goes with the look your going for. It makes it look like a rally car now.
    Peace.

    Talking

    Well if you look at the tubas racing team, before they changed there look, they had there hood black, same goes for the dba brakes VX from Australia, they had there hood painted black as well. Sorry but i'm not going for the boy ricer look by any means, the only reason the vx looks they way it does now is cuz i want it to resamble and maybe 1 day be a real rally VX, but thats it. if you look at my honda or lancer they are very simple, they don't show any signs of ricer at all. But you all know here that pictures don't show what the eye can really see in person. every 1 that have seen it says it looks amazing. I wish you guys can see it in person, then you can really judge the look. But hay it's all good, cuz we all have diffrent taists here and thats what makes a VX meet or Car show interesting, Right? And it does not hurt me at all, cuz i'm happy with it, and thats what counts, That the owner is happy, Right?

    Whats the Point of Living, if You don't go BIG.....

    Coastie, you know my stance on mods...

    If YOU like it, that's all that matters!...Damn what the rest of the herd is doing!...

    Until you get to about this point, then you might want to step back & re-evaluate...
