Just put the hood on today and would like the forums opinion. I don't really want to paint the hood, so if I can get away with it upainted I will. Otherwise I will put the stock one back on. I also don't want to be JDM, so I would like advice from 6 speeders good or bad, people on here know there **** when it comes to what looks good and doesn't.

 

Have the sides and front middle painted, leave the back middle unpainted. I have seen this hood done this way and it looks great!

 

I like the hood, but I think it needs some paint.

 

Like it. Leaning more towards painting it...your color in my opinion, would look better with a painted hood.

Just my 2 cents!

 

Clashes too much with the solid gray/black theme. I say paint it, but break it up in a way where a small portion is visible. Above idea sounds good

 

I like the hood. You can pull off an unpainted hood if you're going for a "race-prepped " look, otherwise it just makes the car look unfinished. Your color choice is more "race-prepped," and dirty (in a good way), but I don't think that theme has been completely pulled off yet. I would suggest EITHER....1) paint the hood (or part) for a street look OR 2) add more carbon bits or decals for a race look.

 

Not feeling it but it's not my car.

 

No worries, the hood is already off the car and the stock hood is back on.

 

I do really like the color of your car though.

 

Would've looked better with more carbon fiber bits on the car.

 

I'd have to go with paint it. A bit too much contrast as it is right now. Plus, the sun does wonders to unprotected carbon fiber...

 

Woah, never seen this before. Very original, I like it.

 

I see a flat clear vinyl looking very nice w/ your cars paint color.

 

I absolutely love it. Keep it like that.

 

guys, I ditched the hood and put my new wheels and painted roof on over the weekend.
