Hey guys first of all! The hood is sitting on top of my wife's blanket. Sorry and again Please ignore the hello kitty and the pinkness:superghey: lol

Ok here's my question...I havent seen too many pictures of Black Zs with carbon fiber hood on there. Should i paint the hood to match the color of my car or leave it carbon fiber? Everything else I have is goin to be painted to match the car.. This is the only thing I have thats carbon fiber. Not sure what to do here.

Just me but i'd leave it carbon, it's subtle on black.

Nice blanket.......:stirthepot: This thread is going to go downhill fast.

Black (flat) with a CF hood.

lol!

I say leave it CF. Here's another pic on a black 370...

Typically i would say paint it, but on a black car, i think it looks good unpainted...

Thanks for the pictures and input guys! I might leave it unpainted for awhile and see. Now i got to find mesh inserts at home depot for it and maybe a rain guard? Not sure if i even need a rain guard. Those vents are pretty big...

Hey, that Z has the hood I want Dreamer! Have you seen it in person? Guessing not since it's got NY plates... why haven't we seen that one on here before?? :confused:

Thoughts on that particular hood... it's the one I'm looking at getting... on black no less. :tup:

Color match the hood, but add a ghost print of Hello Kitty to it. That would be so hawt. You don't even know.

Personally, I don't think there's enough contrast with carbon fiber on black.
I say paint it and keep the body the same color on a black car.

Paint.. CF hoods are played out IMO.

I'd say no paint at 1st. Then once it's starts to yellow or gets a lot of rock chips then paint it. Two looks same car, that's a win/win.
