Paint all except the shaker surround, it'll look awesome

 

[fluffyrunnells]

leave it for a while, if you have the cash to paint it whats the rush. try it and if you hate it paint it, if you like it you have some extra cash..

 

[PonyboyIsaac]

yeah i wish she would have brought it,yum.

You think?? thanks for the feedback anyhow
:edit : actually your idea is kinda intriguing me the more i think about it, thanks mang!

i'm liking this idea....

I'd leave it how it is for a while, maybe you'll end up really liking it. I know if I were to pay the $$ for carbon fiber (instead of fiberglass), then i'd at least want to try it for a while unpainted


a funny quote from a ricer in my area. "You can't paint carbon fiber yo. If you try to paint it, da chemicals n' **** from da paint will make dat carbon evaporate.. so everywhere you paint it, it'll just disintegrate"

Your car is black, right? You need to paint the hood to match. I think it would look stupid with a dark gray hood.

Keep it carbon fiber that looks great

 

[urban96]

just use a sharpie and color it

 

[DisposableHero]

If you choose not to paint it... go have a clear coat put on!

If you dont... the sun will make it crack and make it change color and fog up.. trust me mine did that

I thought it's not recommended to paint CF

We've got a Saleen S7 and a Carrera GT on our showroom as well as a Ferrari F40 in our service drive right now that are painted and haven't melted yet

I agree...if nothing else put it on your car and see how you like it. Take a couple good pics and photo-chop some black on the sides to give you an idea of the black with CF around the shaker. Either way it still looks sweet

Yeah that would look real good!

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

I like the cf look, I say keep it. But make sure you have the power to back up the looks.

That is an awesome hood man.

 

[rebelleader]

Paint it like this....

I got the same hood Put it on, see if you like it, if not then paint it. I dunno how it looks with a black car, but I've seen a CF hood on a MG car and it looked Titts! Should look even closer on DSG, but I have to wait another month to find out.

*EDIT* No shaker huh? Going with a through hood Carb? Spill the beans dude, I'm curious as hell.
