#52949, "Poll question: How should I have my hood done?"
I don't think the hood paintjob flows well with my new front. New front is rounded out more and isn't as edgy as the previous. So, the cf left on the hood has corners at the front. I am steering towards rounding them out. BUT, I am tempted to just light coat it so the cf design shows thru silver. That can be done can't it? Or should I just go with the same design I have and just round those corners off instead? I even thought about tracing the inside of the vent with a thin line of silver. Discuss.

I'm gonna go ask about prices tomorrow. So, hurry up and post, bishes! I need some help figuring out something. I think the cf design showing thru may look different.

I just wanted to do something different than just slapping it on. I like it all cf, but I wanted to make people trip. I always have noobs ask- hey, how'd u get the cf in the center? lol. And people are like- PAINTED CF?!?!?? I just always think about what to do to try and make the car stand out with some sorta new effect. The paint mixed with clear sprayed over it may be that new effect. Really sounds pretty new for my area. I have never personally seen it done either.

honestly i think the black of the hood flows great with the black of the headlights. the flames are the worst part of the car. remove them or DIE!!!! nah seriously make the flames black or c/f. 3 colors just looks WAYYY to disorganized and cheap. or mebbe paint the inside of the headlights the same blue as the flame and the hood inerts blue too

imo, 3 colors are fine. I have the grill in the vent blue. I'm removing the flames as soon as I can have the car painted. Which won't be anytime soon. The bodyshop said he'd give me a deal. He just meant same color, with pearl and maybe graphics. I want a full color change. I painted some of the hood to kinda take away some of the black. Here- I love this pic. Maybe it'll change ur mind. (I doubt it)

ahh i cant like 3 colors, its just not my thing. well paint the hedlights blue then too. Honestly flames arent bad if you painted the headlights to match IMO. mebbe they can repaint the car after tha targa.

But he seems to be taking his time. Next summer it better be done. LOL. My friend got sponsored. He's not doing shows and wants to sell his celica. So, the shop owner even told me- "I wish I woulda put that work into ur car instead. You do shows a lot more than he does. And he is too picky." He daily drives it and if it gets 1 microscopic speck. REPAINT IT! He went to his house (shop is beside the house) at 2am for him to buff the car for a show the next day. I couldn't have that shit. He's my friend, but he is being an ass with this hookup. Taking it for granted. I hope to get a great hookup since his advertisement car is now out of the local scene. He's still trying to finish the neon targa. His son won't install the damn roll cage they built. He just wants to have it out b4 anyone else has targa. Then we're building him an uber nice tranny. I'll clean it good enough to eat off of and hook him up with the best parts. Then I get a deal on targa. Whew. Lots of words.
