I just got a new CF hood OEM style and was thinking of painting the sides and leaving the middle unpainted. Kinda like a race stripe look, but Im not 100% sure yet. Has anyone done this yet?

 

I have this done on my Prelude and it looks great. I haven't seen it on a Z yet.

 

Was it expensive?

 

Nah. They should be able to do it for around $100, no more than $150. It only requires really wetsanding to give the hood some texture, painting the hood, and re-clearcoating.

 

If anyones interested in painting an oem carbon Fiber hood Im selling mine for $150.

You could also do a candy coat the hood to make it match your oem color.

Heres a few examples from our site on a car that left the center carbon fiber.

Pm me direct if you interested in my CF hood thats for sale.

 

WOW that is exactly what i want to do with me hood. Was it an easy process? I have a SB so I know it wont stand out as much as your hood but, DAMN I gotta say that is nice..Do you have daytime pics of the car?

 

IMCOOL did it as well, he painted it black and left the middle carbon, i saw it personally and it adds a little something. It was good.

 

The pics are not of my car my car but I have a unpainted carbon fiber hood for sale for $150.

The process is not hard all the body shop needs to do is to just paint over sections of the hood.

Let me know if you looking for a Cf hood pm me.

 

Red. Any pics of the hood? Whats wrong with it?

I am intersted.

yup I did my hood made all the lines blend too

 

Post pics imcool.

 

Doesn't adding paint and a clearcoat to the hood reduce the weight savings by a lot?
