You could do the graffiti on vinyl too, just in case you want to change it up, but if you have a solid design then I'd recommend getting it sprayed. You definitely won't get mistakened for a ricer or a low baller. Kim Kardashian's ___ is good as well.

100% right... That's actually a better idea than Kim Kardamabob. Hmmm... I'll do the graphic on my white hood because I can remove the vinyl easily.
Definitely graff on silver...

So...

Get your hoodride on. At least for the actual hood. Then dump it.

Rust it, and then make some killer vinyl graphics to go on top of it. A catch phrase would be excellent.

I'm definitely going to be a little hood... I'm going to have a buddy graff' it up and have him put "I'm so hood." on the front of the hood where it's flat. HA!

Today I finally pulled the trigger and scooped up some paint stripper.

That's as it sits now. I still need to take my sander to it. I kind of want to keep it glossy steel, so I may hit it with a cheap enamel clear from Lowes or something.

Not a fan of non-functional hood scoops, or scoops in general for that matter. Just not clean.

So it's getting rust.

This thing has been sitting around doing nothing. I almost had no reason to have it. We'll see how this pans out.

I always thought it might add a bit of aggressiveness to turn the rear part of the hood, aka "the dent" into a nice subtle louver that was functional.
