Pic Request: EB painted Carbon Fiber hoods
show me your Electric Blue painted carbon fiber hood. I'm debating whether I should paint mine or not. I searched and barely found anything , hope I get better results from this.

I've wondered this myself. I have a silver EVO, but still the same concept.

Nice. I've never been a fan of crazy carbon fiber hoods (mainly like OEM style), but painted looks nice.

I did this in photoshop. I think it looks nice, but not sure if I could actually do it or not.

How do you like it? My concern is that if you do it, there is no going back.

I was a little disappointed with the fit of the Siebon hood, but I love the look!

I meant to say the look of the part painted and part CF? My concern is, that if you paint the CF, you are stuck.
