Rep Power: 0 a CF hood costs 500 but painting the middle would cost about 200 roughly. SO only painting the middle will be 500 dollars less than buying a CF hood and painting the sides.

Rep Power: 346 post some pics of your car... i can do a photoshop for you.
I'm really undecided on the whole thing... the reason the civic above looks nice is because the whole top half of his car is painted black... just like Big's car.

Rep Power: 0 hey man dont listen to anyone on here. i did something that ive never seen anyone do to a civic on here yet. the only kinda similar car to mine is nittos. i have the karminari carbon fiber hood and i painted the sides and the middle to match my car. everyone who has seen it said its gotta be one of the nicest looking paint jobs on a cf hood yet. do what you like. f*ck the haters. be original. be yourself.
