i've been searching for a colored cf hood for my Z for a while now. i've been looking for either an orange weave to match my CF B Pillars, or a silver weave that i can kandy coat the color of the car.

i just stumbled across this website: http://www.importprecision.com/carbo...er_hood_colors

first, should i even bother buying a CF hood from an off brand, due to the possibility of fitment issues, and second, do you think that orange weave would look good on the lemans sunset? there is a swatch in the link above, and an orange hood on an xb in the link below:

let me know what you guys think, am i better of candy coating a silver hood? thanks!

 

It is better to just get a CF hood that you want and then have a body shop candy paint it to match

 

oh no..dont' do that. Just buy CF hood then let your bodyshop to paint for you. I would recommend Seibon.

 

the reason why i didnt want to get a regular CF hood and paint it was b/c i think it'd still look too dark even after the orange coat. i have the whole orange/silver thing going on with the car, so i was looking to kandy coat the silver weave so that it'd somewhat match the tone of the rest of the car.

 

wow i was thinking of doing the same thing exept in royal blue......... like the srt4 they have on the pic.. but i dont know anyone or see any pics of a z on there........... so im skeptical too.......

 

just tell the bodyshop not to sand down the CF coat. Just spray the color and the clear coat.

 

i have a silver cf hood and hatch from seibon they look really good! i'll send pics if you want

 

yes! please send me pics and where i can purchase one at! thanks.
