Hood Decals Explained
If there's one thing that all the major muscle car brands have in common, it's their style. Across every single muscle car generation, you'll find options with racing stripes, vent accents, and even pinstripes that run along the side of the vehicle. Unfortunately, only some OEM hood decals are available depending on the trim level, so you may have to take matters into your own hands with aftermarket hood decals that any DIYer can install.The best hood decals are made with premium vinyl materials that are built to last, even in areas that get a lot of sun or inclement weather. Depending on the style you’re going for, the cost and installation process may change, so something like a full-body stripe kit from SEC10 may come in three pieces and cost more than stripes that only cover the outer part of your hood.
Why You Should Consider Hood Decals
Your muscle car looks aggressive and ready to race at a moment's notice from the factory, but that doesn't mean you can't improve its appearance and further personalize it. If you want your muscle car to stand out from the pack, adding hood decals is a great way to achieve that without breaking the bank. In fact, you can even start with something small like hood vent accents that give your hood a little bit more pop. On the other hand, if you plan on hitting the track and want your muscle car to look like a racecar, plenty of full-body racing decals are available to give you stripes that run from the hood to the spoiler.There's also a ton of different design options and sizes to choose from. You'll find single stripes that run from the hood to the rear bumper, parallel racing strips (among the most common), and even little hood accent decals that bring more attention to your hood.
While hood decals are easy for any DIYer to install, make sure you thoroughly clean any surface you plan on installing the decal to prevent bubbles and tears down the line. There are also specialized detailing tools and accessories you can leverage, so speak with our sales techs to make sure you leave with everything necessary to install your new hood decals.
