It's not something that you'd put on a raider.....




But it is cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Not even for a Montero? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Get those inserts that the 5.9 Grand Cherokee has and install those bad boys on <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Edit: Just got some pics in. He'll send me daylight pics tomorrow. Now I see what he was referring to with the "racing scheme/theme" on the hood.

Carbon Carbon Hood



Fiber Glass Hood


He told me that this hood is so beautiful as is in person, it would be asshame to paint over it. Not sure which option to go with, cause if I get it and paint it, no turning back. So I need to make up my mind here in a next few days. I was thinking a med color charcoal, but I'm loving this BMW Sterlling Grey on this (Pictured with painted sail panels)






then possibily leaving the hood as is. Painting the whole vehicle, leaving all pilars around including the sail panels between the door-window and rear-window black, so that the color black flows all the way from the windows, over the roof (upper half of vehicle painted black below) all the way down the hood?




Or fade the Charcoal into the Carbon Hood.......




Or bring the black from the rear window, over the roof, down the hood and down in front of the middle bumper like this VR4 and M6 (probably not)...






I'm up for ideas....

Second would be to paint it Amethyst Graphite (Inifiti has that color, a Metallic-like light Charcoal, pictured below). Paint the hood that color too, but maybe keeping those "racing theme" strips and painting them a shade lighter so it still stands out. OR painting it completely over? Haha, I sound so confusing, huh <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Satin Black! That's my vote

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> We all know how you like your flat black Toasty, of course you would choose that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

That M6 looks pretty fricken sweet. I like the flat black with the Infinity color idea...

honestly, the flat black idea never crossed my mind considering the CF has the CF look, ya know? My choices were to either paint the CF, fade the charcoal into it or painting it charcoal and lightening up the "racing stripes" with a shade lighter than charcoal?

Man, the choices! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

when was the hit and run? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> You never tell me anything anymore. You just rollover and go to sleep <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I like the satin black too, but I reckon it would be tough to keep it nice looking. It's not like you can polish out any scratches or whatever. my 2 cents

Herc it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />


Careful with your hootus.

I'd probably have them nickel plated:

I'm sorry honey. I didn't tell you cause I didn't want you to worry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It's a long story. I'll tell you about next time. But it's been about 3 weeks. I do like the satin black look, but it would chip easier and I would imagine harder to keep clean. And it can be waxed either. What do you guys think about the other options mentioned previously?
