my new "unpainted" hood and CTR headlights y0!!! mad phat JDM spoon products.

well i wanted a new look so i decided to pick up a carbon fiber hood, which i found at a really good price. i figured i'd complete the 'look' with some black housing headlights which i made for like $3 bucks. pics are kinda shitty, but its cool.
let me know what you think good or bad.

looks good. i think the next step is to paint or remove your mouldings, and definitely paint the door handles. the car will look uber clean

I think it looks good- keep the black IMO. I'm partial to 4 doors and hatches, but looks decent

i've wanted to paint the moldings forever, but it kinda seems like its part of the "theme" now. the headlights definantly look really dark in some of the pictures, but it was shitty lighting, so that made them look darker than they are in person. thanks for all the compliments and comments guys.

Re: (whoDAT)

I don't mind it, but man....I will never lose the econobox connotation when I see black mouldings. They just look cheap.

Looks like part of the car got sporty, but the black parts forgot to come along.

By no means ugly though.

honestly bro, you should have painted the moldings and skirts. i had a CF hood on my ek hatch VSM like yours, and then i painted everything and put my stock hood back on, and it look 0235883275892u times better.

but car looks nice none the less.
