Hi everyone , so I have a black 2is and I got a cf hood because I liked its subtle look on the car. But now I want it to stand out more And now I am re-clearing the hood and I just found out you can add tint to the clear. Does anyon have any recommendation on what color of tint I can add to the clear to make the cf standout more on an obsidian car? Thanks ~~

 

Yellow but I'd do red.

 

Silver; my brother had a silver CF hood on his red Integra and it looked killer!

 

Whatever pearl you add dont forget to add subtle touches of it elsewhere to tie it in

 

CF hood on black is always going to be hard to do. My buddy has a CF hood on his 350z and the only way you can really make it pop is when the car is cleaned, recently washed and waxed and in sunlight. Other than that it is almost impossible to make it noticeable if its the regular CF & Gloss color.

The only way I've seen it pop more is if its a different color than black like a lighter grey or if its a matte CF on gloss black

 

The op is asking that if he paints the hood, what color to make it Pop?

 

Just an example of a silver "CF" hood on a black car; of course I had to find an example straight of my 5th gen Civic background :

 

^ that looks like black/grey carbon. Isn't silver carbon like the ISF interior trim?

 

^It's technically kevlar. But I like the contrast.

 

thanks everyone for the input! a silver cf like isf interior trim actually sounds good! will work with my future plans with the car, just dunno if that can be done..

 

So something more of this flavor :





I'd assume a custom order could be put into any one of the popular CF hood manufacturers for the 2IS to get that done.

Good luck!
