i just got a carbon fiber hood recently but i want it in red same as my z colour, did anyone do this before? or in any other color?

 

I wanted keep the CF look of my Seibon VSII hood, but I got damaged during shipping, so I painted it in the same color as the car.

 

^^ That hood looks great color matched. Good job. ^^

 

Dude the colors on the hood and the bumper are waaaaaaaayyyyyy off!

 

look really, really good

 

I agree...may be the picture but to me the hood and bumper look about 5 shades too light.

 

+1...

 

thx chsia, it looks very nice. did anyone paint their cf hood too? can u post up ur pix? guys how can u tell the colours are off?

 

id paint it...i had a seibon CF hood on my b18 civic....it got one little crack, and the whole thing spidered out, i was gunna paint it..but i sold the car instead.

when i get a cf hood for this car, i will be for sure painting it.

p.s. ever seen heat (sun) damage to a cf hood? not pretty!

 

Wow. Lose the CRT monitor's boys.

Colors are perfect.

 

nope, on new macbook pro....colors are off

 

Colors look perfect to me...1/2 the cars in the shade, the other 1/2 is in the sun
To me it looks like the hood and the bumper match just right, both in the shade and in the sun

 

Not bad at all, the color match just about right.

 

There's a blue CF hood for sale in SoCa

Looks good. Really flows well. The paint looks as good as it's going to get.

People really get into a rant about this. But some kits are way off. Bodykits are a different type of material than factory. So paint, no matter how close or dead on, the paint will lay different on the different materials. I have yet to see one dead spot on. You can go look right now at the rear of any Z, new or not and the upper and lower bumper is slightly off for it's different material from the factory. You can paint the entire car and it will be a tad off. Now my paint is off and been working with my body guy and a specialty paint shop in order to get closer. Hoping will be in the next few weeks. Course they said that a month ago.

 

of course the hood is the same color as his bumper, it looks like they were painted at the same time. compare either to the fender however and you can see how off it is.

 

Here's a pic of mine. Sorry the picture isn't that clear.

 

I'll be painting my hood and hatch when they comes in next week.

 

Great match on the color.

 

Too me that paint looks as close as your going to get, the shadow from the building might make you think different, looks great to me!
