Personally, i dont think it will look good at all. To each his own, if you are going to like it then go for it.

For future plans, if you decide to sell the car, no one is going to want to buy a car thats two tone. id like to see how it looks.

Carbon fiber hood and trunk look better in my honest opinion. Don't fake the funk.

it only looks good an certain cars and with the right paint and wheels, not to mention the right look with the body structure. i say no... its more of a European Sport car them. everyone and there mom is getting this. it looks cool, but not my taste.

I second that notion!

Most of the people I've seen do that have a really crappy or faded paint job already. Then thay decide to paint their hood and trunk black, It just looks tacky.

If you do decide to do it, I'm thinking you're doing it with a fresh paint job.

Still CF hood/trunk is a better deal.
