Post up a shot of the whole car and then have someone chop it for you.

That car looks extremely clean WITHOUT the black hood IMO.

Looks like you already got a black front lip from the picture you posted so in my opinion I think the black hood would make stand out more...

If you want to go with the white and black theme do it (something) like this. Except white obviously.

Painting the hood will not look great IMHO.

Personally, if it's painted properly, and "subtle" enough, I don't believe it to be. Black lip kit, black hood, black housing headlights, and white colormatched mirrors? I think it's clean and not overly-done. I'm tempted to black my hood as well since I matched my mirrors!

I think it's kinda ricy

This is rice.
I like your car how it is.

Also, I love your avatar

Do what you think looks good, because in the end its your car. Every time i think of black and white themes i always think initial d and takumi's ae86. If done right the black hood could be cool.

Black hood version.

White hood version

Looks like a CF hood actually

DetergentCandy · Post by **DetergentCandy** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 12:49 pm

Ya. That's a CF hood.
Carbon Fiber looks good.
Black does not

haseebgill12 · Post by **haseebgill12** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 12:50 pm

Yeah was gona say that looked CF.

synviper · Post by **synviper** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:59 pm

Sorry I'm colorblind it looked black haha.

Either way if done right a black hood can look good if it flows well with other parts of the car.

It looks bad when you have a clean color matched car then randomly you have a black hood on it.

Personally I would go with a clean all white exterior and gold wheels.

garfield3887 · Post by **garfield3887** » Sun Nov 13, 2011 7:57 am

Cf would look the best. But I love the way a black hood looks on a white car... Really I would do black from the hood back (hood, top, and trunk) ...
