    I love the green on that car. Is that the factory color, and if so, what is the code on the door sticker for it?

    The hood scoop is a little tall for my tastes, and definitely needs to be painted to match. Wheels look good, need center caps.

    wheels look good!
    trim the scoop back towards the windshiled (like mine :clap:) and paint it, you'll be good to go!

    Nice!
    Takes in that air cleaner real good.

    My taste would be body color on the hood and semi-gloss black on the scoop.

    The paint code is 4V. I plan on painting the scoop black for now, and eventually repaint the whole car the same color. The paint you see on the car right now is not original, the previous owner had the car repainted the original color. Rim size is 16X7 or 8, dont remember for sure. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

    The scoop has 7 studs that are molded into the bottom of it. It was very easy to install.
