Paint looks awesome, I heavily dislike the exposed CF in front of the scoop though, it looks awkward

. Should've painted it all.

^Agreed about the scoop.

But other than that. Clean and shiny car! Looks great, but the dirty wheel wells are an eye sore. lol. And you need a drop badly.

Agree to disagree, I like it raw xD.

Is it just me or does the line between CF and paint look wavy?

I love the painted look... just not sure about leaving that tiny bit CF. Looks...off... to me.

.... waiting for the "but as long as you're happy with it, because thats what matters"....

i think it looks super ubber awsome the way you had it done

time to save my pennies for a complete paint job

I should've added that but I didn't.

I'm slacking. It just looks weird, it creates a body line where there isn't one just to expose some CF.

If anything just take the cf all the way to the edge. Still looks super minty!

thanks for the comments. The hood detail was a suggestion from my wife, she has not steered me wrong yet with the car. I have a plan with the cf being exposed on the hood. I have a sticker that I want on there to hide the transition. Besides, other than the hood being lighter than a stock one you couldn't tell if it was CF if that detail was not done.

BTW... The car is as lowered as I want it. It has Mopar blues on it. It looks high because my driveway is not level.

It is done the way I like it and I really enjoy the small detail on the hood. Its unique and original.

Wow, so shiny.

I hope that I can get my car repainted like that some day.

How much did the paint job run you?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu May 12, 2011 9:41 am

That's all that matters is that you like it.

BigDutch · Post by **BigDutch** » Thu May 12, 2011 11:26 am

The work, including all of the patch work and replacing a fender. Taking off the bumpers, skirts & spoiler (to be done right) $2500 cash

For the transition between Black hood and CF I was thinking of getting a sticker made up that says "2.0L HIGH OUTPUT" and have the letters hollow so you can see the CF or opposite so that there is a strait line instead of the wavy one.

now go invest in a clear bra!

BigDutch · Post by **BigDutch** » Fri May 13, 2011 9:37 am

What is that? And where would I get one?

gilly02le · Post by **gilly02le** » Fri May 13, 2011 8:56 pm

3m stoneshield. Like a giant clear decal they put on to protect from stone chips and whatnot. Call 3m trim-line in town, and ask them about it, I'm sure they probably have it.

Paint looks great man, we'll have to meet up sometime soon!
