Default How does this look? (photochop)

Hey guys, a few days ago i asked what you all thought of pocket style flares and a matte black hood scoop on my truck. Johnnysart did some photochops for me and did a great job! Keep in mind that the shine on the hood throws off the contrast between it and the matte black. the drivers view is probably closer to what it will look like contrast wise...

another thing that looks good is the carbon fiber look that they have on the new challenger hoods, but whichever you decide to do, do the intake part also.

And flares look good, I am not a flare guy, but they look fine

LOVE the flares. they are a definite GO. The matte black hood stripe is also a definite yes. It'll look much better in person, not real noticeable until up close. The chops look more like flat black. Matte finish is probably the hardest thing to recreate. It'll look really good in person

I like the matte black on black look (even a satin black would look good too), I think that would be a definite YES for me, the flairs also look good on your truck and I am not a flair guy by any means. I say go for it.
