Default Black hoods

Are black hoods considered retarded on cars that arent black. say with red car with black hood or silver with black. i think they look pretty cool but i dont want to go there and get flamed by everyone else. want people to think my ride is nice. not rice

i have a cf hood now. im not quite sure if people are trying to imitate a cf hood or just being different. a red ej8 or em1 coupe is quite common, just thinkin cf hood attracts too much attention. especially in areas high in theft. just askin opinions.

if you have a cf hood, leave it or paint it. I would probably paint it, because I don't like the attention.

If it's not carbon fiber paint it. I think it's ricey when you paint it black and it's not cf.

I would say... if you are doing it for the look (which most people are) just paint the damn thing. Otherwise you are spending 500 plus on a CF hood that you bought because you wanted to have a black hood. Who gives a **** what others think.

why does it have to be "ricer" when you paint it black?

its not always imitating carbon fiber.

my hatch, 2 tone. BLACK!!!! not carbon fiber.



hate if you want, but its not imitating carbon fiber.
