Should I paint my CF hood? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #26017 16 posts Started by Hart1583
I have an invader carbon fiber hood, full invader bodykit molded, and z3 fenders. Car goes into shop in the next day or to to redo the whole front since my accident, and Im havin them paint teh whole car so it will guarentee match. Car is bright white with frost blue pearl. Should I leave the carbon fiber hood or should I paint it?
The only way I'd paint it is if I painted it like phat's but that's kinda rude. I say leave it
i vote leave it.

no paint, leave it!

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
get crazy and paint a semi transparent layer over it. wait, i dunno how itll look with white.... >confused.gif>
Leave it, why paint carbon fiber? Unless of course the carbon fiber is like messed up or something, then paint it.
Painting it will add weight to your hood which kinda defeats the purpose of a carbon fiber hood.
haha paint weighs so much. dont paint it white. just have them paint that frost pearl on it.
