Hey guys.. I dont know if any of you have seen code reds video on plasti diping his hood.. anyway!, this got me thinking how my TB would look if i did some sort of strip down the middle, or strips where the groves are in the hood.

These are my most up to date pics of the TB. Please let me know how u guys think it would look, or any design ideas :smile: it is plasti dip so it will peel off but id still like to know what my fellow nation guys and gals think... Thanks!! :2thumbsup:

If you are going to do a strip I would do the whole car and not just the hood. The front bumper etc. But I am not sure how well the plasti dip will stay on is all with it being where its at. I mean if you really like it, then you can switch over to paint and keep it like that!

to be honest I think it could look a bit racer wanna be maybe...but if you do the right mods then you will be fine with it really. If you want sporty look then the strips usually is what some do but its really what you like. Beauty of plasti dip is you dont like it, take it off and it never happened lol or if you want before you do it, photoshop the truck and stops and see how it looks. If you like it go for it. That is what I had to do with parts for mine

But I think the black strips would tie in well with your rims. I say color match the cross bar, and then run the strips on the truck. On the cross bar also, bumper, rear top etc.

or another thing you can do i dont know if its silly or not, get black paper and put in on the truck in strips (maybe have to cut it) and tape it down with clear tape and walk away and see how it looks. That should give you a pretty good idea of how it will look

I would try plastidipping the plastic on the front bumper (the lower part that was dark on the LT/LTZs) ----- I think that would stand out
