Ram Air hood idea (please don't laught it off too much...)

Everyone has a name for their car. If you don't, you're lying or not into your car enough. I was wondering if you guys think it would look too ghetto to have the name painted on the ASCD Ram Air hood.

I'm doing a whole black with slight red accent thing, such as painting the vent grills (nostrils) red on the hood, and thought I could bring it out a little more by having the name "Cerberus" done in some type of red script, not too large at all, along the front side of the Ram Air scoop, like how the 2000 T/A's have "Ram Air" there.

Comments? (zipping up flame suit)

As long as it's not too distracting and just catches the eye a little I think it would be cool.

You know, that name and that car sound familiar. Didn't you used to be Reno9114, or something along those lines? Hows it goin man, this is Rob...the guy with the whit GTA from Rockford, was setting up the caravan...remember? Or am I just insane and looking reallllly stupid? either way, whats up! Now onto the hood. I think done, like the man said, small, so its an accent to the whole paint job, but not a full fledged feature of the car, it would look sweet as hell. PLUS the fact, thats a mean *** name! mmmm, 3 headed guardian of helly goodness. =) I think it would be a sweet addition to one of those hoods if done with style. Hell, I'm guilty of it too. Centered on the bottom of my back window is a small white script sticker I had made that says "eleanor" (I KNOW< I KNOW, Eleanor was a Mustang...but it's the concept that I named it after, not the car. oh yeah, if you havent seen it, I'm talking about gone in sixty seconds)

Yup, that's me. Reno9114 on AOL. Thanks for the input guys. It is gonna be small text, really just an accent. And I want to use a pretty deep red, so it won't be too bright, either. Not like Viper red or anything. Now all I need is hours at work to afford it...

I guess that would be alright. I am thinking of putting "BANSHEE" on the license plate of my 89 project formula.

If I can ever get my motor to make more horsepower than my lawnmower, I'm going to put the horsepower numbers on the cowl hood.

But I suppose with an LB8 you wouldn't want to do that

I really want to get "Stroked and Blown" in script on the side of the Ram-Air II hood when I get it painted. Stroked for the 383 under the hood, and Blown for the Twin-turbos hanging off of it... I'm just afraid people wouldn't understand...
