Painted CF Hood

I had my carbon hood painted. Got the sides and the grill done. I know it's a basic paint job on the hood, but what do you all think? I think it looks a lot better!

It looks pretty good, only recommendation is to get the cf reflectors or just paint them black.

Next exterior mod would be a body kit...

I want the Kaminari sooooo bad! But the price is soooooo bad!

I was thinking, KEN front and then that techsport or whatever it is called rear. Not sure about the skirts yet, I think the KEN ones are a bit bulky, I want something smooth just down the side.

Maybe I will just paint them black this weekend. I really do hate those. I was just gonna wait for the kit, but I want a weekend project to do. heard the reflectors are a biotch to get off.

As in?

The color? They weren't painted with the hood. I actually did them myself, with spray paint . Came out good, color is just a tad off, but really don't notice too bad in person. When I get the kit I'll probably have them just use the extra paint and have them do the eyelids for me.

I think it looks real good. For a body kit, I would go with the K2 front bumper by rrm and OZ sides and rear lips. I'd also pick up some cf gandar mirrors or just paint your stock mirrors silver. Good luck with the body kit decision. I Would also paint the sides of ur wing silver to match the hood.

Could always get the CF evo 7 front bumper and paint the sides to match the hood so the CF forms a V type shape.

That's how I had my Evo VII wing, I kinda like this better. Full cf.

I'll check out the one from RRM.
