hell no. I'd never paint my cf hood, i had it wet sanded and re clearcoated but would never paint it, if your going to paint over the cf hood, buy a fiberglass one, and paint that. IMO the weave is just too pretty to paint over.

 

why not get a fiberglass hood...paint it the color you want,and the parts that you want carbon fiber paint black?(not much of a difference) yet the price you'll save alot more $

 

if i had a cf hood id paint it to look like less of an idiot
whats wrong with you people? why do you insist on destroying the natural beauty of the z with ugly body kits wierd color schemes and pointless hoods?

 

Aesthetic Enhancements! Stock is boring! Cars are like a blank canvas, you have to put something on them to make it art. If you don't.... it's just a blank piece of paper. You, my friend, need to step OUTSIDE the box.

 

Beautiful....



Boring....

 

exactly. lets be forreal as much as i love the Z, it's not really all that in stock mode, you don't have to go extreme with the body kits to keep it clean. Why would u buy a cf hood just to paint over it? why? Comon now, don't tell me its cuz it makes the body lighter, the stock hood is light already. sheeeesh

 

No. I just got mine on, and oddly enough, the VS II black is just different enough from Super Black to make it stand out but not look out of place.

Next step is to get it clear coated to protect it.

 

I just painted my carbon fiber hood and left just a little carbon showing!! Turned out great !

 

got any pics?

 

You my freind are a idiot, sell your z and purchase a KIA. please go away now!

There is no good reason to have a CF hood on the z except for asthetics. Our stock hood is very light, not much heavier than a cf hood, so the only thing they do for our car is give it a different look.

So, knowing that, why would you get one if not for looks? You probably wouldnt, and that being the case, why paint it if you already have a black Z?

 

CF hoods are overrated a lot of the time. Some cars can pull it off but most people that have CF hoods just didn't pick the right one or just didn't do it right at all.

Here is a pic of my ppw seibon hood and the car !!!

 

Me Like! Good contrast!

 

Thanx!! Ill post better pics soon when I get everything painted and put on.

 

I see the CF as a cute item only, the weight difference is very minimal. Though if you do go with the CF hood, why paint & hide the fact that your paid $$$$ for CF & are now trying to hide this.

 

Nice....

 

Im not trying to hide anything!!! Thats how i wanted the hood to look!!! As far as weight there is a noticible difference between my oem hood and my new cf hood!!!

 

Good ole VS2
