Hood graphics / decals

Seen a few vehicles with vinyl wraps lately. I am fond of the new land rover defender hood with the black accents. Having said that, i tried to mimic their look on my hood with vinyl. What do you think? Leave it on or take it off?

 

Personally not my thing. However, I like the idea. What if you did the same thing in a matte silver a few shades darker than the truck.
Otherwise maybe get the black vinyl scoop kit, that would tie a lot together for my eyes.
Not trying to be harsh. They are only my opinions...

I don't hate it, but I agree with 4runner fun. I'd go with a slightly darker shade of grey than the 4R.

 

I dig it I thing if you hit the bump it would all tie together

 

I think you're on to something. Adding black will pull it all together

 

Is that black or silver? It is hard to see under the reflection of the light.
Thanks,

I did the same thing only with matte white on my super white.

 

I did just the scoop first for sun glare but I thought it looks cool

 

I like that. I think that's look good with OP's current setup too

 

Matt Grey

 

Charcoal black

 

Kinda looks like it has sideburns.

 

All you need is Wyatt Earp moustache to compete

 

How did you accomplish this look? Is it paint or a decal? If a decal where did you get it?

 

I went to my local wrap shop it’s a 2 step process cost me I think $120 and he guarantees it for 2 years it’s held up great 6 months on I’m about to do something for the rear quarters in spring keep you all posted

 

Eh, it just looks like you're in the process of doing something that's incomplete.

On the LR's those accents are supposed to be reminiscent of the tread plates on the fenders of the original Defender (which I think were literally meant to be stood on). The 4R has no corresponding styling heritage, so it just looks out of place.

IMO do the 80's style strobe graphics on it would look cooler and have some Toyota history.

 

Actually hood plates go back to the Jeep willys of WWII fame
And again I state anything you put on your truck love it! and eff off every one else
