HELP! Need opinion.. paint CF hood/trunklid?

[Mo®]

This is a friend's car and he wants an opinion. He repainted his M3 so should he paint the hood and trunklid to match, leave hood, leave trunk, or leave all as CF. Opinions?

HMMm that looks pretty hot...although i don't like how the back strip on the trunk was painted yellow. He should have left it black. If he changed it back to black then i would leave it...

Oh and where did he get that trunklid from

Mashaw makes some pretty mean stuff, that's where the trunklid came from

def paint it. I hate unpainted cf. It looks like your friend has a really clean car but the only thing making it look bad imo is the cf

Mmmmm nice ass hood. Damn, look at that fitment! Wonder where that came from.

In that colour i would definatly paint both body coloured. If it was silver or black i would only pain the trunk, but carbon fibre with that yellow looks kinda out of place

I'd paint the trunk and Clearcoat the hood.

bobnj, the trunk thing comes painted on the m3....no way to leave it black, unless you call the factory beforehand. trunk looks like ass though, so you've got that straight.

is that car fast?

Paint the trunk, leave the hood.

Oh.. and.. needs the inner housing of the headlights to be painted to match.. (a-la dado's kidnapped baby)

[djstattic]

paint it...atleast the trunk lid

[E31]

What I would do is this......

Your car would look good with black racing stripes down the lenght of the car. As wide or a bit thinner as the kidney grills. Here is the cool part...have the hood and trunk painted yellow to match the car, but the black stipes leave them be the natural CF color. This way people can see that it is a CF hood and trunk. That is what I would do.

I say paint the whole sa-bang. Clearcoat the undersection of the hood so when people open it they know whats its all about.
