Hoods are painted as you know. The stencil I got was from Graphics Express in Florida. It is not totally correct, BUT could be cut down the exact middle to widen it by about a 1/2 inch either side. Again depending on what you want, an exact replica or something close. There have been many posts on this subject if you do a search. There are pictures and details on position and size for correct placement. Actually, my painter just used it as a guide and then used 3M plastic tape to lay it out. My hood is incorrect and was totally my fault as I told him the front edge was 2" from the hood edge, but I forgot the 1" trim was not yet on. The front edge should be around 1 7/8" to 2", mine is 3". Oh well, no one has ever questioned it at shows, it is what it is.

Here's the link to David's post on dimensions.
