If your going to leave the raised sides of the hump CF and paint around it.......why not leave the raised sides of the vents CF also and paint the insides.. Basically opposite of Poindexters setup...

Just a thought...

I liked SIIK2NR's idea... So I attempted to do that one. I'm not too good at this stuff, but I think it came out good enough for you to get the idea.



And I guess this is the way you wanted it... It's the best I could do.

Thanks for the help cvc2nr and good idea s2k2nr.
Such a hard decision . I am most definatly going to paint the front bump sides black but doing it along with the other 2 is a good idea but i dont know if i like it or not. It matchs up nicely with the others but its a bit protruding. Can anyone possibly help PS my car with either of those style painted hoods?




Thanks alot,
Tony

Since you want opinions.....I don't like what you're thinking. The Mugen and MS Seibon hoods are pretty aggressive looking and IMO need extra parts to make them flow well with the car (side skirts, hardtop, etc...) - why get wild with the paint scheme as well?

Creativity is a great thing, but not on this hood - I think you're going to end up looking ricer-ish.
