Painted hooods anyone??!
 

Im considering painting my hood (the centre part of it within the lines) when summer hits, and im jus curious what it will look like. Ive seen some photochop pics, but i wanna see some real stuff.. I know there are probably very few of you on the site, but if anyone has this done, or know someone who does.. post some pics.. i would appreciate it.. thanks

and why exactly is that rice?
i was also considering a cf hood but im assuming thats rice too.:screwy:

CF hood > painted plus the CF hoods are lighter.

bleh. I've got my cf hood fully painted my stock color.

less weight > more weight

CF hoods are fine but painting stripes on ur hood is RICEE!!

if u read my post u would know that im not painting stripes... i wanna paint the entire middle part of my hood.

ohhhh he said u cant read the post!!!! ohhhhhhhhhh!!! lol im such an instigator

:tdown: :tdown:

the few i have seen look bad. (even with CF center/painted sides sometimes)

4*banger... are u on crack?

wouldnt hurt to change up the car a little bit from stock, dont be afraid of some change. lets just label all mods "rice" and then everyone that has anything other than stock will be rice, and therefore < you.

^^lol...i've seen a couple that actually turned out pretty well, just don't overdo it, try to stay with some body lines or something so it still looks clean

alot of people on the site have done this>
do what you want to your car:tup:

yea the ones ive seen look pretty damn hot... samari's car is teh hotness... :)

is samari the guy who lost his life to a train? =( i think?

unfortunately yea hes the one.. [r.i.p.]

i just joined the board when it happened so i didnt really get to know his rep but i heard he was a very likeable respectable guy.

im not saying all mods are rice, im just against painting a certain part of your car liek the middle or ur hood, wuts the purpose? jsut get a CF hood, and if u want u could even paint it ur stock color, there is no point in the mod ur thinknig about, but hey! do it if u want.

cf doesnt match a black theme for everyone. it looks clean. i think it will look sick. if it goes it the body lines it looks good. just like BIG's roof. amazing.

thanks alot guys.. i totally forgot about samari..very clean ride... can u guys think of any other members?

lol painting the middle of a stock hood is the same thing as painting the middle of a cf hood.. it just costs way more money. in my case I can get my hood painted for roughly $500 less than the cost of a cf hood, plus it all looks the same from away.. and im not going for performance, more for show..

You guys do know that there is a 4 pound difference between a cf hood and a stock hood right?

im well aware..lol

yes he was.

wow 4 lbs eh.

do you really think that makes that much of a difference? thats like putting a 2L bottle of pepsi in the car and then saying it is slowing you down.

and also.. its a civic. unless you have a turbo or a K-20 all your mods are for show.. otherwise you are better off with an rsx anyway.

agreed.... its a slow car regardless...
ive accepted it lol

if you want to do it then go for it......

I think it will look pretty good matt as long as its done right

I think it will look pretty good matt_s. For the money its a huge change to the appearance of the front of your car.

depends which hood you go with.

my generic one weighs a little less than 10 pounds

yea either way, take your shoes off before you drive and you'll have the same difference, but wait! if you have the hood and take your shoes off then your car will have twice the affect!

there's a 30 lb. dumbbell in my trunk. so much for that
