Black or CF?

[CivicFreak03]

Look at my avatar. My hood is currently black along with my grille. In the spring I would like to change it to a carbon fiber hood with the same TM paint on the sides as I have now. The problem is going to be the grille. The paint job flows well right now because the grille and hood are both black. I would like some opinions on what I should do? Stay black or go cf? "Once you go black you never go back" This may apply here too

i say leave it, it's cool as is

[CivicFreak03]

Yeah I thought about the CF grille also but do they make one that is real cf or are only the cf print grilles available?

[CaTacL1sm]

not sure... but i say go cf no matter what

[CivicFreak03]

Yeah I have had the car the way it is for a year now its time for a change. I know they do make the RS grille in a CF but I am thinkin' the jdm mesh grille. Next question should I paint the carbon hood like mine is now or leave it plain?

Leave it plain.
Then when the clear starts to fade, paint the sides and reclear the center. This way you can change the car twice.

Will that look goofy since the top of my car is also black....

I say leave it like it is

[CivicFreak03]

I mean by leaving the carbon fiber hood plain?!?

[Alpha 5]

Leave the hood plain.

Then if you do not like it you can paint it.

[CivicFreak03]

True. Thats probably what I will do. Thanks guys for your opinions.
