I like this one. I'd stay away from the outlining on the stripes that was posted previously, though.

I'm going to try that today. I know it needs something to finish it off.

As requested �� and all before 10 AM!
Might need some fine tuning.

JB, extend it till you reach the upper edge/dent and let's see if that does it.

I am pretty sure it is either they way you have it now (frunk gap) OR the upper edge.
(that'll keep the flow and adds smothness). That will be the plan for my stripes and I tested a lot before coming to that conclusion.

Above pics show wrappings of the lower spoiler/lip, which is TOO much IMO.
But they are good examples for a long hood design.

I think your right. Extended or leave it as it was. Pics soon 😀

My unsolicited 2 cents - I'd like to see the extension you made today shortened, so the curve of the extension is more similar to the curve of the front bumper.

Ive tried the shorter version, looks about as odd. Next I'm gonna take Bran's suggestion and run them down to the body line under the bumper. Had to order some more wrap. If that looks odd I may try all the way to the bottom,

Yup...all the way down is the way...and if not, you can work yourself up from there, until you like it

i like all the way down, or just to the end of the hood. i think anything part-way onto the bumper cover is much more difficult to execute properly. all the way down is much more racecar, whereas just to the end of the hood is more of a club racer look.

I agree. As soon as my wrap gets here I'll be taking it all the way down and I think thst will do it. I hope.

I have the pewter hood ornament coming too 😀
