I have an OEM style carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber eyelids. I will be getting a carbon fiber trunk and a new full carbon fiber wing.

Options:

1. Keep everything carbon fiber.

2. Paint the sides of the hood to match car, and paint eyelids to match also.

 

I'd paint the eyelids, and depending on what color the car is, paint the entire hood.

 

I'd keep the eyelids cf instead of painting them. I think it will look better with the cf hood. If you really want to have painted eyelids, I'd trade you mine plus cash.

 

there is a lancer on car domain that is painted 350z orange w/ a cf hood, but he has the evo style, anyways he has the sides of his painted the color of the car and it looks realllly. you dont see it very often so it would be unique

 

I've seen a Lancer with the sides of a carbon fiber hood painted. It looked ok, but in my opinion wasn't great. If it was my car, I'd stick with all carbon fiber. The half painted style does seem more racey if that's what you're looking for though.

 

dont paint it all or paint it all... no half n half jobs.

 

I like the clean look, so I say leave it all carbon fiber. Simplicity goes a long way IMO.

 

I say leave it C/F... What I am doing

 

Carbon Fiber all the way

 

cf hood only, trunk and spoiler is too much but thats my opionon

 

keep it all carbon.
