^ Sure I understand. You don't like the hood that's half painted.. you like the all cf hood.. Not into the whole color clash thing but as long as it's a dark enough color it's cool.

I say you should leave it all blue. It looks pretty good as it is.

I am surprised MTK hasn't seen this yet And for my opinion...whatever floats your boat. It's your car, do what you want with it.

With that blue (looks like Monte Carlo blue), I'd normally keep everything like that and rock that color. But since you have a CF lip and the gunmetal rims, the CF hood accents it nicely. If you paint it with the CF "mullet" strip, it'll look gay (at least to me, while to others they may think it's the world to them). Everyone has their own opinions..... if that were my car, I'd be either rocking the CF lip w/CF hood, or leave a stock blue lip on with blue hood and not contrast either.

Pic 1 & 2 look gorgeous! Carbon fiber is great when it accents certain areas. I love the lip. It complements the wheels very well. If you have a carbon fiber hood it looks like you bought a primered hood from the junkyard and can't afford to get it painted. It's just a fad that doesn't save much weight. I don't care for the skunk stripe either in your other pics. Your car is awesome, don't ruin it with riceboy ****!

I say get the cf hood and spray it with a blue clear coat. So it looks like a cf hood with a blue hue to it.

haha.. Guys, thanks for your honest comments.. yup I totally agree w/the skunk shieet is hella ricey.. just something I'd throw in to see what you guys had to say about it.. anyways.. I'm thinkin' i'mma go stay with stock since the Daytona Blue is lookin' pretty damn nice! Thanks again for your guys' comments and votes.

p.s. I think the mullet analogy is fuggin' hilarious! haha
