Black or CF?
 

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 :lol:

Re: Black or CF?
 

you could get a cf grille too

Re: Black or CF?
 

i say leave it, it's cool as is

Re: Black or CF?
 

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?

Re: Black or CF?
 

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

Re: Black or CF?
 

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?

Re: Black or CF?
 

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.

I say leave it like it is

Re: Black or CF?
 

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

Re: Black or CF?
 

Leave the hood plain.

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

Re: Black or CF?
 

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

Re: Black or CF?
 

CF is getting played out:shrug: I'd paint it to match the car if it were me..

Re: Black or CF?
 

i say cf hood...dont paint.

Re: Black or CF?
 

you could have your roof wrapped in cf... m3 style

Re: Black or CF?
 

Lol that would prolly turn out to be more hassle then what it is worth.

Re: Black or CF?
 

Leave it the way it is now. It looks awesome!

Leave it that way, I have my paint that way with the CF and the hood cracked along the top, its ok from a distance but if you get up close you can see it. It was cool have the CF but I'd rather just have a painted hood.
the first day I got it back after new paint

ya I had to replace my hood, someone jumped on my original OEM blue one. Put a used OEM black on there, never getting it painted, car looks gangster.
