I just bought a TS carbon fiber hood off of a well known member on here and am looking to have it painted soon.

Im open to ideas you may have on how it should be painted.

I am thinking of leaving the vents unpainted, to show off the carbon fiber and about a 1 inch strip/border at the very top near the windshield in carbon fiber as well.

PLEASE POST PICS OF ANY PAINTED TS HOODS PLEASE!!!!

 

What's up, dude?

Glad to hear you got the hood okay!

Honestly, there are only two ways I would paint the TS hood.

1) Paint the whole thing.

2) Leave about ~2-3" of the bottom of each vent c/f (see pics below). Make sure the paint fades into the c/f.

 

any other pics of the IP car with only the last 2 inchs left unpainted. That look sick, I never though of that!!

I couldn't find any more pics other than those 2.

Option 2 is the way I would have gone! It's clean, doesn't scream rice, yet is still aggressive.

 

I really, REALLY, don't like it when people paint the hood and leave the vents c/f.



Provided that the grille on the above car doesn't help, I still don't think the c/f vents look very good. They look very out of place, IMO.

 

To each their own, but I just think the vents look "stuck on" there and out of place like this.

 

oh boy

 

 

Dude, I haven't searched so much since my newb days lol. Hope these pics are helping, LOL.

 

 

That fade actually looks pretty good. I am just not a big fan of this hood. But if i got it, i would def fade it like that.

 

The front end of the this car is the ugliest thing these eyes have ever seen

 

Well considering half the posts on the forum are yours you probably know where all the threads are.

I would definitely go with the second option Calvin posted.

 

That IP coupe with the fade is soo sick I plan to do that one day. It just looks soo good and aggressive make the hood look amazing.

 

LOL!

Wise guy.
