Can someone photoshop this pic for me? Here is a terrible example of how I would like it. I'm going for a matte black though...not gloss black. If anyone can help that would be great! Thanks
Roof, side mirrors, hood vents, front bumper, and grille matte black

 

bump....i'll paypal you $$$ if i have to!!

just so you know, that picture sucks ***** for edits like this. The roof in particular is completely overexposed, and the lighting in the lower bumper area is godawful. So hopefully, this is realistic looking enough.





Personally I don't like it. The grill insert looks good, but the black hood vents look like thick eyebrows that need to be plucked and the lower bumper inserts look like emo lipstick. Now it has a clown face. The mirrors would look like you broke your originals, bought replacements and didn't paint them. And the whole point of the black roof is to look like a skylight/one-piece glass rearwindow-and-roof...which matte black wouldn't imitate. Besides, matte black is going to be out of style faster than spinners...before you know it, every riceburner in town will have rattle-canned parts of their car, if not the entire damn thing.







So I took the liberty of changing it up how I would do it--entire hood and grill surround in gloss black, as well as the roof and lower bumper lip. This paint scheme draws attention to the bodylines of the car and pops the fenders and window line instead of simply having random pieces painted black. Personally I think this is much cleaner looking and more attractive in general, but do whatever you like best--your car, your scheme.

 

wow thanks a lot for your help and your input!!! much appreciated!

the only problem I have with your mod is that my hood is CF and I don't know if that would look right. I see what you are saying about everything else though

 

what part would not look right with the CF hood?

 

the sides since it would just be that small strip of CF with no other body parts in cf

 

...huh? I meant paint the whole thing and don't leave an yCF exposed. The sides painted body color, the center section painted black and the grill surround painted black. That's how I would rock it, at least.

 

gotcha....i'd be pretty pissed that i didn't buy fiberglass though since all of the cf would be covered up

 

well at last you get the weight savings.

As an alternative, you could just coor-mach the sides of the hood and leave the center section exposed CF, still paint the grill and grill surround black, and then do a CF roof overlay to tie it all together.
