well next week im going to send off my baby to the body shop and get her re-done :) i decided to paint her a bmw Maldives Blue over a buddy club 2 :) the bad news for ya'll ....and me is that i wont be able to see her for 9 wks since i'll be up at basic so i wont be able to post pics when shes done. but rest assured when im back im going camera crazy :P i also need some feedback from ya'll. should i or should i not paint my c/f hood and should i go wingless or stay.

Paint the CF hood - it's for weight reduction. You don't want to look like you damaged your original hood and replaced it with a primed hood from a junkyard.
Secondly, keep the spoiler. It's not a wing - we don't drive jets, F1 racecars, or Prototype cars.
Thirdly, I think that it would behoove you to replace the tails with a set of stockers.
I like your car, though, and it will look really good in that colour. :)

Exactly. I hate unpainted carbon fiber hoods except on black cars.

yea im going to put the stock tails back in, mabey smoke them a little bit. i do like the looks of c/f but i think it would make the car kinda tacky. im going for a clean look so mabey the c/f will get painted. :)
