Need some advice on my car color.

[Nick :D]

Hey guys, due to a recent accident made by my painter to the hood of my car, I am going to need to get it repainted. (For free, of course)

So heres what I am deciding upon:

Should I just get it repainted white?



Or Like so:





Things to consider:
1. I am Seventeen
2. I want my car to look Aggressive...yet clean
3. My roof is already black.
4. I am not going for VIP

I have seen some sweet bimmers that have done the same thing, and it is starting to grow on me.

Since you have a blackroof, it will flow. If you didnt, than no.

Ok, thanks for your input guys. What about the Trunk? I don't really want to paint that black, but is there something I could do to it to complete the look?

Also, I'm thinking a black lip kit would look amazing with this.

Kind of like on the GTR's and that BMW that Paul posted a while back.





Also, I am definitely going to get him to paint the grille with the same paint so it will flow. Because in that photoshopped pic in my first post, it is still flat black.

I will reserve my opinion for now...i need to keep staring at the two pics longer lol

keep it white or carbon fiber

just get a cf hood.

btw i hope this doesn't offend anyone lol. but...

i think the black that runs in the middle of the hood is just plain nasty.

leave it white and paint the white grille too

[Nick :D]

I have thought long and hard about this, and I have decided against the CF because I have aftermarket lights and an aftermarket grille.

And whats the Golden Rule for aftermarket parts? Thats right, They never fit perfectly.


So I have small gaps all over the front between the hood,grille, bumper, and lights, and I think that a CF hood is going to really be pushing my luck on my front end body gaps.

Besides, for my personal tastes, It would drive me nuts to see a smooth flow from the front to back that was different shades and styles of black :/


Thanks everyone for your input so far. I love TN haha

go for all white...it looks fresh all white with the black roof (my ES will get a similar treatment)
looks way too ricey/stupid for me with the black/white hood

the gen 5 CF hood sucks...i saw a CF hood on a gen 5 at a show and it didnt even fit correctly and had NO grille since the CF wouldent support the mounts for the grille...looked plain NASTY

Nick, the car looks great as is...leave it that way!
