May I make a suggestion?

With the chrome look you might be interested in sanding down your hood scoop grille. Just unbolt the four bolts under the hood, pop the scoop insert out, tape off the painted areas with duct tape, and sand the scoop grille gently with some fine 400 grit sand paper. The grille is stainless steel so you don't have to worry about it rusting, and it looks bada$$ in my opinion... I'll take a pic of my scoop and show you what I mean. It would match your ride perfectly.

That thing looks pretty damn sharp. If I had a pavement princess, I'd want it to look as clean as that. Good Work.

Here are the pics of my sanded stainless steel hood scoop grille. Sorry, bad lighting and the truck is dirty right now. Basically, in person it has the machined/brushed stainless look. You get the picture

Wow that's awesome, I'll definitely have to do that! Really makes the hood scoop stand out more!
