Okay, I have the car about ready to go to paint. (Hopefully next week) The problem is I have a hood that will not line up. (I got ripped off) I am painting the color black cherry or burgundy. I was thinking about painting the car like it is now and then put a black carbon fiber hood on it. Does anyone have a picture of what this might look like? What are your thoughts? Thanks.

I think black CF hood on black cherry would look perfect It wouldnt be a huge contrast in colors so I wouldnt even paint the hood at all

Thanks for the input on that. I still want to keep the classy look so hopefully that works out. I am probably going to go the legal limit on tinting the windows as well.

Maybe you can paint a thin coat of paint over so it'll match but you'll still see the weave.

carbon fiber is not classy. it's racey. paint it.

If you're going for the classy look then I would say paint it. I don't think carbon fiber is ricey but it's more sporty.

Paint the sides of the hood and leave the center CF

I would just keep the factory hood and not buy the carbon one. Like some are saying that carbon is more for the race look, if you are going for classy/luxury just keep your factory hood. IMO
