Satin black hood, roof and wing...should I do it?

I am dropping my car off Monday at the body shop to have some touch up work done. I was thinking about having the hood, roof and wing painted satin black. I am def having the wheel faces, turbo badge, and exhaust tips painted satin black.

What do you guys think? If there is a photoshop expert out there please black out these parts for me, thank you in advance.

Yes do it! This is something I have been wanting to do too, esp with the hood. Love the hood lines on this car. My wheels are already matte black and I am gonna do the exh tips to match. I say go for it!

I wouldn't paint it, I'd do a vinyl wrap that way it's reversible. They look so good, just like paint. It'll also be cheaper than painting and you've got the added protection from rock chips etc.

If you're thinking some stuff black and some stuff silver, I say don't so it.
Instant ricer/tweaker/no-class/donor part look. Half-and-half would be
as unattractive as when "she" has been taking the hormones but hasn't
had the actual surgery yet.

Great call actually. Those wraps look really great if done right.

Ouch.

Yes because it's so refreshing to see 90% of the cars on the road in silver or gray these days....

Wheels and a wing only go so far for some....
