OK I can see them now. So, opinions? I would paint them (inside/outside) the same or similar to the wheels. I know, it's a Cobra replica, and subtlety isn't in their dictionary, but its an FIA replica without stripes, not a 427 with look-at-me stripes (apologies, you striped 427 owners), so you don't want the scoops to yell at you too loudly, do you?
Did I mention.... nice paint?
Cheers,

Glen-

Don't be fooled by the indoor lighting and John's camera. In person, outside, the paint has no orange tinge at all. Still, it is a nice paint job, but a little less "look at me" in person. A little.

I also think the scoops will look more subtle outdoors when viewed from more traditional angles.

Anyway, I'm not going to make any changes until after Peter P. takes it to Carlisle (that's the annual kit car show in late May). The ERA team loves how the scoops look, so they can take it to the show that way.

Jeff
