love that color !I have been playing around with different things to add some interest to the hood. Initially, I bought fake/clone Raptor hood vents from eBay. They install using 3M Emblem tape. I covered that in an article I wrote below:
Guilty Pleasure: Fake Hood Vents
Truth be told, I felt like a poser, so took them off. Since then, I have 3D printed trail sights inspired by those on the Bronco. That design is still evolving, but feels directionally correct.

I have another design that is longer and lower that is ready to install. I'll post a pic once that happens.
Let me know if you have some thoughts. I am teaching myself 3D design and trying different designs at the same time.
