Reverse Checkmate




I had the scoop painted black and I installed the stripes from Aesthetic Creations.

It wasn't too hard, took about an hour to do and I love the new look.

And yes that is a picture from the dragon hanging on the wall...

How did you end up getting around the windshield washer heads? Cut outs or cover?

They just pop out and the hose pulls off from the bottom. Since I already had the bonnet insulation out, it was a snap. I then just used a razor to cut out the hole the vinyl was covering.

Hey, I was going to do that, but I've been either working or on the road since I did the scoop swap.

Looks great Tampa

p.s. I'm still going to do it
