Painted VIS vented cf hood? Yay or Nay?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Deciding if I should purchase a VIS vented CF hood and paint it OEM Blade Silver. It kinda looks like the oem hoods on the the new Vipers IMO. I also want to get rid of all that power robbing heat soak.:shakes head:

Nah. Unfortunately they only make cf. Theres a cheaper extreme dimension look a like but it looks too flat and vertical. Kinda like the TRD 3000GT Supra hood

I like the painted look but w/ a little of the carbon exposed :)

I love mine painted, I get compliments on it, which is nice.

This is on platinum graphite, but I vote painted.

Paint it..

OldFart 01-09-2015 03:19 PM

Mine is getting painted but leaving the center portion inside the hoodlines cf.

Another vote for paint. I had some CF on my car and will likely get it painted. Much cleaner overall look unless you are going all out "because race car" theme.

I was going to buy the same hood and paint everything but the vents in brilliant silver. I hate entire body panels that are exposed CF, it looks unpainted like you got in an accident and never painted the panels. It probably wouldnt be a good idea tho in vegas considering we have torrential downpours in the summer time.
