I'd say just paint the cowl hood silver to match the skirt of your car. The area around the cowl back to blue. but i'm confused with your pic it looks like you want a silver stripe down the middle??

i thought it would look better with the area (that is whitish) to be painted silver as well.

here are my questions that i am seeking opinions on...
1. should i paint around the scoop on the hood to match the scoop?
2. should i paint a stripe down the roof and rear deck to match?
3. should i go farther down on the front bumper? and if so, to where?

here are some pics that are how it was a month ago, which is still mostly identical.

Check out CYARS92 car (nice by the way) he has a similar paint scheme on his hood but its not a cowl. There is a a pic of it in the "Lets post some pics for nice wallpapers" post in this same forum believe its on the third page . Hope this helps you out.

I think you should just paint the cowl to match your car and paint the sides of the cowl silver.
