vinyled my CF hood. Whatcha think
Ok so I've always loved carbon fiber, but after I got my hood, I realized that it looks really out of place on a light colored car. So this past weekend I visited my local pro vinyl shop and this is the result. This pic was taken with my camera phone so it's not the best quality. I'll post better ones on Monday after my car show.
Tell me whatcha think please

Rep Power: 292 IMO doesnt look bad.
You like it thats all that matters.
as for everyone else who calls it rice or whatever ignore them
for the most part 80 -85% of these boards dont really like anything other then a "clean" civic, so rims, bodykit, drop, tint, etc.
so ignore those who rip on ya..
effort.
keep it up.

I thank you all for your opinions. I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't want people's opinions. But... ya'll do me a favor and define rice... Cuz I've seen a whole hell of a lot of people on here buying cosmetic products or changing lighting color but since it meets with most people's approval, it's ok... Hmmmm.... a bit confusing for me...
i guess you don't think of it that way. it's just everyones own taste. don't get the people on here wrong, most may not like it, but i'm sure someone will.
you posted the pics because you wanted to hear what people thought about it, which you are. if you like it, that's cool man.

no comment on the vinyls, but on a light colored car, a cf hood does not look out of place, IMO.

Rep Power: 0 I like it, But I am not looking at the flames, I am looking at it as a creative way to get the CF hood to match the car. To fit in and such. Wait till they see my planned image on my hood.
I am a linux geek, and I want to add my personality to my car, tastefully though.
I saw what I did to my old truck, and realized, it was tack.

Rep Power: 276 not digging the flames, but i do like it. i think it looks really good accually. flames arent me, so if i could think od something else to do it i would. you get me? but i dont think it is rice. i think it looks really nice accually, its original too, which is hard to be with a civic.

Rep Power: 0 CF and SSM don't look out of place IMO that is what I am rocking, but whatever floats your boat flames on cars are gay again my opinion, if they were off the car it would look awesome.

Rep Power: 246 I think it looks pretty good. I may not have gone with flames, but a carbon fiber hood is just as boring as a solid-colored stock hood. Nice way to change it up a bit.

Awesome! Everyone should throw in their personality in their car and not just do whatever everyone else is doing.
Very creative by the way.
