New hood: not sure how I feel about it. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

WKderF · 10-12-2006, 12:06 AM

the opportunity came along to pick up a like new seibon hood at an incredible price; so i did.

Im honestly not sure how i feel about it, but I thought id post up pics anyway.

The biggest debate right now is wether or not to paint the mesh in the hood & the grill black, or to leave it silver. any thoughts?

I think it looks sick the way it is.....but i wanna see more shots of the car. Thoes wheels really set her off.

very flashy. if thats what you were going for. i like it though. might look cooler painted?

Silverfc88 · 10-12-2006, 12:18 AM

Didn't you have a similar hood before?

WKderF · 10-12-2006, 12:19 AM

if i were gonna go for the painted look, i would sell this hood & pick up the fiberglass version which is waaay cheaper & paint that one. I havnt ruled that out yet, but im keepin it in mind.

I had an OEM carbon fiber hood from VIS at one time which i ended up selling. Im honestly not sure how I feel about a non-stock hood at all but the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Looks very intimidating, maybe painting it would be the way to go, but leave the loovers carbon fiber.

revenant · 10-12-2006, 02:53 AM

your car looks awesome!!...i think the hood looks great. The vent color is just preference, id personally just leave them alone unless it really bothers you.

Congrats your car now has gills like a fish and a rather large vent. I say go back to oem carbon fiber, this hood you have now is fugly.
