painting carbon fiber hood... ideas...
I DID IT! i THINK have somewhat figured a direction to take my car. so i am looking into getting a carbon fiber hood, but dont want the whole hood carbon fiber as i feel that is to fast and furious-ish for me... i would however like to have a little body color and a little paint.. SOOOOO i was thinkin of this idea, painting the hood body color, but leaving the vents carbon fiber..:stirthepot:
I'm looking at a this hood: http://www.the370z.com/members/edub3...b86ec646-l.jpg somewhat the same concept as this::yum: http://www.the370z.com/members/edub3...re38065-15.jpg any thoughts, techniques, ideas, or concerns, just throw em this way! |
not digging the scoops personally, but if youre gonna do it go big!

yes i did the same, except for that last vent at the top u wanna paint that completly and not fade it out like the pic u put check out pics from my car you can compare u might like it more.
|
That is freaking sweet! i love it now. did u go with vis or seibon?
|
Thank you very much i think leaving the first 2 vents in cf and paining the rest is the way to go, i was considering fading out the 3rd vent but it decided against it and im very happy the way it came out, and the hood is seibon TS :)

I like the way zuperman did his. :tup: The fade is nice for car shows and such but thats about it. Seibon just came out with a new single vent hood that I'm :icon08: over...

ya i can see joe blow at the body shop attempting a fade after i tell him about it and just messin it up in all kinds of ways
|
^agreed i like how zuperman did his. Came out nice!
|
I like that hood too. On the "to do" list for next year. I will leave all three vents carbon with a small 1/4" border. But mine is MB, so I can get away with it.
|
I keep going back & forth about painting the vents or not.
There is a PG 370z on here with the TS hood fully painted which I really like, will find pictures. |
would it be better (more functional) to have the vents closer to the windshield? at least past half way aft of the hood to suction out the air?

That opening will pull hot air out from the radiator before it hits the engine helping cool the overall system. |
Courtesy of Ztoon, I really like it fully painted.
