As cool as that sounds, it will break down under sunlight and eventually look like burlap. If you're going to paint it, you might as well go all out OR drive only at night. haha

Actually it should last okay if you clear coat it. Just mask off the triangle when painting the silver and clear the whole hood. It should last a long time.

This came from ebay. This person (mrs. Decals) sells a vinyl piece that covers the rotor on the hood. It might be a good idea to try it before you paint it that way, just to be sure you like it.

I think it depends on the car. It could look good on a Titanium car with black trim. Yellow, red, or white would look bad IMO.

vinyl? It looks good in the picture but I'd have to see it in reality to actually judge how it looks
