Default Car goes for paint tomorrow: last minute decisions -->

Ok well, Im pretty much getting the whole entire front clip ( front bumper, fenders, hood) resprayed and the roof. I have OSIR CF Hood on the car and I definately dont like the look of it wrapping around the sides. Ill be painting the sides of the hood to match the rest of the car. Heres what I can decide, whether or not to paint the roof of the car black or leave it red. I have to get it painted no matter what because almost half of the roof's clearcoat is GONE!

Heres alittle toon I made awhile back and made what it would look like with both the roof black and red.

I orginally liked the black roof but now that ive PSed it in, im kinda think its alittle "overkill"!

Default If it's done in the right way, I think painting the roof black >>

*could* look really good on your car. However, I think the car looks good as it is now, so why change a good thing?

Default well long story.... but the hood car keyed and i decided to get a cf hood instead of fixing

the oem one.... so I want to paint the sides becuz I dont really like the hood as it is. And then the roofs clearcoat came off so I need to paint that and was just thinking about what I could do.

Im probably going to leave hte roof red and then if I can take the CF hood anymore fix or get a new oem one!
