Opinions on paint job..

I'm getting my car painted in the next couple weeks (because of the accident), and I've decided to do something a little different then I've seen yet.

I've got a CF hood on there now and it looks so sweet, I decided that I'm going to paint the roof, and the rear spoiler all black, then do the rest of the car again in red. I'm shaving the antenna, and everything on the rear hatch. (wiper too)

Here's a pic of what it may somewhat look like. (old pic)



You think its going to be ugly? I'm just wondering, I'm doing it no matter what.. Everone on CSi thought it would be ugly.

In one word I would say NO!!! In two words PLEASE DON'T!!!! and in three words WHAT YOU THINKING!!!!

Not to my taste but then it's all up to you. It's good to be different sometimes.

Not bad but I would leave the rear spoiler red...

It will be different...If you like it do it. I dont think i would do that to my car though...i might paint the sides of the CF hood to blend in with the body but thats about all. i think you should paint the top red and get the spoiler covered in CF. that would look good

That'd be interesting...

Would be really cool if you could get a Carbon fiber wing and also a carbon fiber roof...

Thats the look.. Then run a B16 under the hood.
I can't wait to do it.. I don't want to do half the hood or anything because someone else did it and it looks good, I want to be the only one with it.

Pics will be up for the haters when I get it done.

its cool you wanna do it unique instead of the same old shit but i would keep carbon fiber in mind and try to create a look from there
