I've been experimenting with the idea of paiting my CF hood yellow on the sides to give it the V carbon look that most members go with, but I'm really not sure if I'll like it cuz of the CF eyelids. So I've actually been lookin around for some vinyl that would match the body color to see how it looks before painting it. Either that .. or have someone voluntarily photoshop it for me (I suck with Adobe).

So if I was to go the vinyl route, you think you could hook me up?
