Leave some CF accents on the hood for a little contrast. Then make sure you get the fenders rolled for before they spray the car. YOu will probably need a roll for the new wheels. Then get your coilovers and bring it to my place to get the proper drop on it.

I think it would look better with the hood painted but leave the vents carbon. That's just my opinion but should look good either way.

Interesting color choice, as for the hood, I vote for painting it and leaving the vents cf.

Haha we might have to get our cars together for a shoot someday...

Mine is satin black with the V1 hood painted to match with a carbon to satin black fade on the vents.

Sorry I don't have any better pics at the moment.

I would have suggested cyan metallic. I looooove that color.

In for results!

<-- Spork loves repaint threads.
