so i know a guy who does GREAT work with vinyl. for really cheap.

i want to do something for my hood. along the lines of this
(used beards truck as an example)


i can get the guy to make me a vinyl in flat black that would go on the hood, and he'll apply it. he did a roof vinyl for my friends turboed integra earlier this week, and it looks perfect.

or i was thinking of getting a hood vinyl made like this

because he'd do it for dirt cheap.

so what im thinking, is either one like beards, but leave the silver paint in the middle, or do the smaller part like the second pic in black.

idk what to do. i think doing the dome of the hood would match the grille nicely...


and heres a recent shot of the truck, if anybody can do a photochop for me..

 

second one except black. itll look pimp

 

id do it like mine...

but you know mine is paint right?

 

yeah of course, but for how cheap this guy is, he does great work, when all is said and done, nobody will be able to tell its not paint haha

i'd do paint on the hood, but i dont trust my painting skills enough to do something like that. i can paint and all, but i mess up a lot, and im just too damn lazy to be doing all that sanding and painting lol

and for the smaller hood vinyl, i bet it would cost me less then 10 bucks. and maybe 20-30 for the bigger one. so its well worth it IMO

 

i cant wait to see this b/c i've been pondering the same idea for quite awhile and your truck is silver so it works out !

 

I would do it like your idea with keeping that "arrow head" silver, and the rest the black.

You could do a **** load of masking and bed line it to match your grill even better! But I bet it would make the hood heavy as all hell.

 

i think its going to look sooo damn good! when are you line-x'ing the rockers?

 

yeah without a doubt. the hoods on the 04+ trucks already weight a TON. i hate it when i feel how heavy mine is, then i lift the hood on my buddies 98. his feels like paper.

 

im hopin so! and idk, one of these days lol

now that im working, im working damn near everyday of the week, and when im not, im out with friends lol

i might try it this weekend though, just need to take the time to do it

 

that truck would look awesome with some matte black vinyl similar to the Raptor that looks like mud, have it coming up from the black grill up the hood...or this:

 

they make VIS carbon fiber hoods for our trucks only weighs 35lbs I think...? cost a lil over $500

 

 

looks cool. u should do it!

 

next all ya need is a Camburg kit and your ready to roll

 

im 4x4
so that means dbr kit haha

which i really really want...

we'll see

and damn, i love how that looks! im doing it for sure!!!
thanks for the chop cody!

 

so i think i want to do the entire dome like in the photochop. i love it!

 

YESSS!!

That's kinda what I plan to do with mine if I ever get around to it.

 

or you could brind up the theme of your grille, just use that stuff to do your dome....just an idea...

 

This looks sick!!!!

 

I keep going back and forth between a vinyl and bedliner. Vinyl is reversible. And less messy. And, bedliner is exactly the opposite. Lol
Idk! I think I'll do the vinyl and see how I like it. Bedliner is my backup plan. Lol

 

also, going tomorrow to hopefully get it done. can't wait!

 

That would look awesome like beards!

 

Had the guy check it out today. He won't have time till thurs. But it's definitely getting done. 50 bucks total. Includes him putting it on and everything

 

Wow, you can't beat that. It will looks soo mean with that on.

 

I was gonna say get a quote from a paint shop that can do Matte Black
