Painting the Hood???
 

Well I've been thinking of having the hood painted.Have it DSG with the Vent's not painted and left CF.Also I'm thinking of having the mirror's painted DSG too.Also considering having the rear painted like Mahnotinknee's.

What do you all think???

NO!

dont do it the cf looks awesome

Do it!

The CF doesn't look awsome...:cool:...

Do What You Want

itll look awsome either way

Yea I really want that too LOL

ew rear honeycomb....looks gay and plasticy and fake, and tasteless.....if you want the black back there....paint it

Paint your mirrors DSG and leave the hood alone

Paint it dude.

That carbon fiber crap looks hokey as ****. seriously, if you want a CF hood cause of the weight thats cool, but leaving it looking like carbon fiber is as ricey as altezza's.
Might as well put some NAWZ stickers on it.

Carbon Fiber is good for weight reduction, but should not be seen.

Unpainted Carbon Fiber = RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Lance,

The CF looks awesome with DSG! but if you paint it, it will still look ****ing awesome. Also the mirrors painted would be very sweet!

Love always,
Christie

I totally agree.

I personally think the CF looks pretty good on your car. If you do paint it, leaving the vents like you said we be pretty cool. You can't really go wrong any way you go.

Ive always thought the painted mirrors look crappy. Paint your hood and leave the carbon fiber vents but make em functional on the other side.

Or I could just leave it all alone and get a MGW shifter :)

Your hood looks sweet as it is but if you paint it , it will look sick..also maybe instead of painting your mirrors get a pair of 03-04 cobras

there yo go.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!

(keep it CF and spend your money on summin else)

TITTERS!

ndcike

how much did you plan on paying for the paint on the hood?

ship the hood to me lance.. my dad can paint it ;) i already have dsg paint also

Can have it done for $100 at my local Ford Dealership.

LOL Christie.Let me think about it :)

I hate CF on other colors but it looks really sweet on your car. That has always been my favorite part of your car so I say leave it.

I think the back would look good painted like mine but not the plastic. I got mine painted because the plastic looked cheap even though it is like $165 lol.

I say leave the mirrors alone on your car. I think they break it up just right since your car is so dark. I think painted will look to run together.

So basically just paint the back lol :beerchug:

I like your thinking :beerchug:

this is my thought. leave the hood or paint it, both will look awesome. if you want your mirrors to be dsg get the cobra mirrors and paint them. im just not a big fan of painting the stock ones, i like the black contrast that the stock ones have going on. and if you want to paint the rear, it would look sweet

lance, for the $200+ you'd spend on painting the hood, get a (blank)-in MGW shifter. You have everything else(aside from LT's) so just get the dang shifter!!!

And then get LT's!! You will hardly notice a difference with the hood painted, it already blends nicely

That's exactly what I'm probally going to do :beerchug:

:innocent: If you feel the need to paint... you can repaint by bumper for me... i hit a mattress... but your car is perfect. Just needs a steeda wing....

Thanks Mug :beerchug:

I have considered the Steeda wing.

Does it bolt up too the factory holes???

any time I've seen a good lookin steeda wing, is if they had a roush font end on their car.....it just doesnt look right with the stock one...and besides...what a waste of money

lol. yeah it bolts up to the factory holes. But looks like you're going to have to get a roush stg 3 bumper lance... uh oh :devil2:

It's all a matter of taste and preference.

Do you know someone there or is that the average Joe price? IMO, I would paint the hood and get the MGW. I love my MGW!

Well I might know someone :devil2:

Colors that unpainted CF looks good on: DSG, black , mayyyyybe silver. Thats it. Lance, seriously, if you want to bring your car up one notch on badassedness, get the cobra spoiler (then sell me the black wing cheap). I wanna see black chrome bullitts on ur car, completely set that thing apart from everyone else's. Keep the stock front bumper, too many getting the 380r. I was going to go the 380r front route, but everyone is getting it, got tuner and gears instead. God, I can sure think of a lot of ways to spend other people's money.:devil2:

If I could sell my Bullit's locally I would get the black chrome wheel's for sure!!

How much for em Lance? ;)

Hmmm Tires,wheel's and spinners $1300

you want to sell it all? I'd just want the wheels lol
