Another M7 Scoop Install

Well, i just got this one in a good deal (Thx MDS!)

I was planning on painting it DS to match the car, but, now that i look at it, it looks pretty good black on a DS/W car. its a nice contrast.

whatca think?

IMHO it would look better if it had something else black to tiy it together, Like a black Grill, hood scoop, and keep the white bonnet stripes and top and keep the DS. Just my 2 Cent

I think you should paint your wheel arches black

BLACK WHEEL ARCHES

I am in agreement with the addition of a black gril to tie it in. Looking good in any event tho.

looks a little stuck on....paint the grill slats to match or go with an aero grill.

I like the semi gloss idea too...

Looks OK. I'm waiting for Msfitoy to finish his scoop for production. His seems to look and fit better. Plus it flows more air.

i talked to my body guy today, he has some white left over from another job, so he said he can paint it white for me. i'm just gonna have him do my grille slats too while hes at it.

and as far as the other one looking better, i have to disagree. it just looks like a stock one with a larger opening, this M7 one actually changes the front end appearence of the car.
