Which Hood Option?
My carbon fiber hood is in next week, but I can't decide whether or not to paint the sides like the Wings West protege or not. I feel that it will blend it into the car alot better, but I Photoshopped 2 samples so I can get some feedback. Please vote, and let me know your comments. And I'm keeping the mesh grills! :p

edit: changed my mind. white stripes would look ass. the red's good.
humour me and do the outer areas white rather than red. just curious. all the black is throwing the red/white look off. given the two you've done though, i like the centre black and the edges red. somehow you need to carry the white through from the front to the rest of the car. |
i agree, the red, black AND white is not doing it ... somehow, someway the white needs to get in it i think, personally i think it looks good without a CF hood , but since its ordered lol i dont know

I feel exactly the same way about the white. I've got enough white on the back, but the black hood may throw it off a bit on the sides, even with the white rims. I am leaning towards painting the sides of the hood though. Thanks for the feedback so far, and keep it coming!

Forget painting the sides of the CF hood and leave it black, looks more racy that way. But then, I'm a fan of Spoon Sports.

some sort of subtle graphics in black and white would tie everything together regardless of the hood being painted.

I'm with Alco, either way, you should get some white decals from Donald and place them on your hood to bring it all together...

the FIRST PICTURE!! thats sweet!
|
when I order mine I am leaving it black on my 2nd gen ....
But anyway I think it would look good semi painted , sides red and middle black .. and just as good with the whole hood black ... It should look good anyway you do it ... i would not paint the middle white though .. just to much white for my taste bruce |
.........although it's not one of the options, have you considered painting the whole hood red???
|
I screwed up my vote (I know, I'm an idiot), but I like the way it looks painted like in the first pic.

Since you do not like the idea of painting the hood red, which in my opinion looks the best, then you should keep it CF. Can't wait to see the pics.

Dont paint it at all. Black goes w/ everything. It'll look good unpainted cause it'll match the black on the tires, the trim on the windows.
