My car is obviously black. If I picked up a carbon fiber hood, would the finish clash with my gloss black paint job or look good? I am having a difficult time imagining it. Pics would be great if you guys have any that show good detail.

I have a pearlized black Celica and am most likely doing the Invader CF hood.

black hood on white car= SHIZZZZNIT
painting = good idea carbonfiber= good shizzzznit fitment = EH it doesn't always fit good which means you compromise the look |

My friend has a c/f hood on his black probe. You can hardly even notice that its a c/f hood unless ur up close. IMO, c/f hood on a black car doesnt look as good.

If you match it up with some other carbon fiber accents it will look hot. Myabe some splitters or carbon fiber wing. I think black and carbon fiber compliment each other just fine.

Basides CF is a heel of alot lighter than a OEM hood so despite opinion on looks it still is a respectable upgrade.

The reason why it's lighter is mostly because it's fiberglass though...the hood is mostly fiberglass with a layer of carbon fiber over the top.  Oh, and that's my amysmojo's car. It looks better in person, when it's actually washed.

im gettin the c one replica hood (if every one would ever pay) on my red car, making my own cf mirors with a brushed aluminum base, carbon fiber gas tank door, and im getting the gt-four spoiler blocks and wrapping those in carbon fiber, i think every thing will look pretty good when i am done, in the end it will be electron blue with all the carbon fiber accents. IMHO i dont like black w/carbon fiber |
