Just an idea that came to my head. If you had (with the hood open) the flag run down from the headlight cover, down the fender to meet up with the flag on your door it would look HOT!
2nd thought, But when you shut the hood it would look weird with just the flag on the fender, so you might need to get a flag on your hood somehow too and have it run down the side!
Looks good man!

After some road testing at about 90 mph, opening & closing the hood 100 times, I even put velcro on the cover with the sticky side up & closed the hood, then opened it & the velcro was still laying on the cover <<< did this about 15 times .... So I think all rubbing issues have been work out. They were touching just enough that you could see it in the satin black finish but it wasn't scratching thru the paint, it was just marking it! Depending on your hood & the way every thing is aligned, 1/4 turn adjust may be needed to the hood studs. My car the Hood close's hard so I readjusted my hood latch & everything works great!
If you are interested in these give me a pm, I'm trying to get these massed produced!
Now here is a before pic![/B]
This is the way they were, done & Installed
Now I am painting them like below!
I was playing around & wanted to see what they looked like with a checker flag & brushed aluminum... I think For now I'm going to keep them like this for the upcoming shows, The last 2 shows the judges overlooked them as being stock.....Now they wont
!
They still need to be clearcoated & wet sand ...but I like it, Woohoo for $5.00 dollar customizing!
Marked out & painted!
Masking removed!
Here you can see the brushed aluminum a little better!

From the grave!
Anyone here know him or live near by him?
I have tried getting ahold of him for a while, but I know he ran into some personal issues.
I would love a set

Hey guys sorry haven't been on much...been busy with life the last 6 or 7 months. I will be making more of these towards the end of the year when things slow down a little. It's rainy season here and it dont stop till end of next month, this is when we are our swamp with work.
On a side note made enough this summer to buy a new Silver SS/TC for my son, more mods to come
