I was at a local integra meet a while back and there was a DA4 (gen2 integra) that was white, but with the oem white hatch and hood painted a flat black. I mean, from far away, I thought it was a CF hood+hatch. Walking up close, he wasn't fooling anyone, though. THing is, I wonder if it would look as tacky as this guy had it if he actually used a painted/clearcoated OEM black hood/hatch...

So, I ask you guys. Has anyone ever done this? Would it look THAT bad?

Oh, and I'm not making anything up to cover how stupid I may sound in wanting to attempt this myself. I have a NBP coupe

people do the black and white thing or grey and white thing cuz they want to look "JDM" but cant afford cf. its a bit tacky, doesn't look too bad, but its better to get it to match. people who modify cars will kno that it doesn't match and it is tacky and cheap. why would u put unpainted nhbp things on a nhbp car? thats just even tackier.

i dont know, but that's what the integra owner was going for. i guess he was kinda low on cash since he was pretty young and his car was pretty beat up. but, i mean, that was flat black with no clearcoat so it did really look tacky. im just wondering if people have done it with oem-quality paint/clearcoat and if THAT would be tacky at all, although ghetto

I saw a mr2 with a gray/black colorscheme where he painted the hood and roof black. It looked HOTT.

one of my co-workers has you all beat. his car looks like s***. a Datsun 510, and he primered his hood. He didn't bother taking it off, or masking off the edges, so he painted/primered a portion of his fender, and the part between his hood and windshield.

IMO, that RSX would look uber hotter if the rims matched the "polished black" of the hood. Nevertheless, it looks hot.

^ painted roofs are ok, ONLY if you have the CF hood and trunk/hatch to compliment it

Those actually go well together...not tacky at all...probably cause they are actually painted and clear coated and not just a flat black...especially the RSX...now if that **** just looked primered...now that'd just be horrible...
