Default Pics...MCM Hood and Stripes Mod

Well I finally got the MCM hood put on that I picked up from Mikes94ZLT1 about a month ago! The stripes didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted, but they are fine for now. I'm planning on making custom stripes this winter that are a combo of the MCM1 and MCM3 stripes from vettestripes (I thought that is what I was getting). Here are some pics, my wife hooked me up with a free photoshoot

Not too sure about the stripes either but the hood looks like it fits great! Any issues with the install and alignment?

The hood fits pretty nice, Mike had it on his car and I think it is on of the original MCM hoods, so it was just bolt on and go. I'm no body man so it could use a little more tweaking on the alignment to be perfect. I wanted the red portion of the hood stripes to be black so I could put them tight to the edge, then an accent stripe in red like the CE stripes I had on my stock hood. Somehow the communication broke down on what I wanted compared to what I got...so luckily I have a friend who can help me get what I wanted!! Or I may just take them off completely and have the center of the hood painted black. All white is too plain for my taste...

Nice color contrasts. Beautiful car. Are your calipers matching red? Couldn't tell for sure in the pics.

Nice composition and decent photos for a 6 MP camera. Free Photoshoot? Not sure what thats all about... A Nikon D70 is not normally a camera you would call a photoshoot camera. The one nice thing is she has an eye for composition.. I'd get her a better camera. Car is beautiful. Stripes and all.
Just some honest feed back

I love white Corvettes and white cars in general. Living in the Phoenix AZ. area, white is the number 1 color of all cars sold here, silver is number 2. Love the hood.
