To paint or not to paint
Tuesday I will be spraying the GPW with another coat of PPG, since it received new fenders, hood, trunk, diffuser, and rear bumper. I've decided to paint my CF trunk white. I was wondering if I should leave the Cwest hood CF to match the lip and the diffuser, or paint it white to match the car. Crappy pics, I know.

Symmetry does not work with the trunk/hood. They are not mirror images.
Nish: I'm scared of it being too flashy with all that CF.

how about you try it with cf hood and lip. If you don't like it after awhile, go get the hood painted

I don't have the bucket in yet, since it's still waiting to be painted. The eyelets for the top 2 are in the trunk area. The bottom mounts consist of the OEM mount point and another custom bolt directly opposite of that in the driver's floor pan. Thanks for your concern, Urmill.
