To continue creating a more aggressive front end I decided to black out the center hood scoop. I thought I had seen someone do it this way when I was looking through threads before I bought the car but I could only find the car that had the entire scoop blacked out.

This is matte/flat black vinyl. I removed the scoop from the car and then used blue painters tape to make a template. Transferred this template to the vinyl, cut it out and applied it. I used the following threads to help with removing the scoop (did have to break the 2 clips on the scoop to take it out).

Excuse my GTI trying to sneak into the picture. I think it wanted one last photo before going back to VW tomorrow.

 

Looks nice and clean.

 

looks great, good work. i think mike (08Lancer89) has this done on his white ra, improves the look a lot. should probably do this to mine sometime soon too, now that i think about it.

 

Is his just the center or the whole scoop? Like I said in the post I thought I saw this style before but I could only find the entire scoop painted recently.

 

at first i think it was only the center insert like yours, but now it looks like he's done the whole thing...

 

Not bad.

 

looks great, if my car wan't black I'd do this in a heartbeat!

 

hey, quick question...where would i find this material? vinyl?

I got it from a shop that specializes in vehicle wraps. But you can also get it from a sign shop as well.

Ask for Oracle vinyl if they have it.

 

Let me know if you guys are looking for vinyl. I have a roll of ORACAL matte/flat black. I do custom stickers and signs but I bought a roll of matte black especially to do my front lip and scoop.

 

Finalizing the design tonight, will hopefully test fit tomorrow and post some pictures up.

 

Mike did have the center done at one point.

 

k, im not crazy then. i finally got around to doing it myself, and it looks pretty good, but i have the stability of a crack-fiend in my hands and the cuts are pretty awful by my **** standards, so i am having a friend use my template to smooth everything out and laser cut a piece for me. should be sweet

 

Get me one too.
