What do you guys think, black hood on IB car?

ChitownM3 · 02-06-2010, 05:53 PM

This is from Forza... I'm thinking about doing a vinyl graphic that would look like this in the spring. I have the black grills and gills on the side along with the Vorsteiner boot lid, plan on getting black VMR wheels in the spring. Opinions please.

frenchM3dreamer · 02-06-2010, 06:36 PM

I'm not a fan, however I do typically prefer more of a stock look...

M3Alpine · 02-06-2010, 06:49 PM

not bad..maybe get a photoshop

BCA · 02-06-2010, 10:45 PM

Even though I'm also normally a fan of a kinda stock look, that looks pretty good (assuming you do have a CF roof). I like the way that the black line on the hood rolls right into the windshield/roof/trunk.

BCA · 02-06-2010, 10:46 PM

By the way just noticed the mirrors...don't know if that's your car or not but I would suggest leaving mirrors body color if going for that look.

SpencerM3 · 02-06-2010, 10:50 PM

No likey. Sure it looks cool in that shot, but it would get old quick.

Kriston · 02-06-2010, 10:56 PM

IF you have supporting mods to carry the theme thru out the car, im sure you can pull it off. But i do agree it gets old quickly!

mexicanmike · 02-06-2010, 11:09 PM

Looks better than expected, but still too ricey. Too each his own, its unique for sure.

Alex@Alpine · 02-07-2010, 01:03 AM

Looks okay.

PlannBee · 02-07-2010, 01:08 AM

If you have agressive mods then go for it.
But other than that, the black would be too overwelming.

sorry auto armour for using your pics.

spyderco10 · 02-07-2010, 01:14 AM

if you want to do this, go with the whole hood carbon fiber (unpainted)

ooowowizstev · 02-07-2010, 01:18 AM

It looks good.

M-Tuned · 02-07-2010, 02:19 AM

not my cup of tea.. I like that on JDMs IMO. just my $.02

xquisit · 02-07-2010, 03:23 AM

I don't like it

Not sure how much it would cost to get that mod, but I think it would look much more classy without it..and you have the $$$ to spend it on something else.

Green///Hell · 02-07-2010, 06:11 AM

haha I love this. I test out all of my color schemes on my Forza and NFS Shift car too before I execute them in real life
Its like playskool photoshop so of course I use it for reference

I thought I was the only one

saeedg48 · 02-07-2010, 06:18 AM

Ya it looks nice as long as you do the black mirrors.

bavarian19 · 02-07-2010, 07:34 AM

eh

ChitownM3 · 02-07-2010, 11:04 AM

Thanks for the opinions guys. It would just be a vinyl overlay so it would be cheap. I'm starting to agree with a lot of you, I'd probably like it for about a month and then want to take it off.

karimMsalama · 02-07-2010, 02:43 PM

will look good in real cars

leeor · 02-07-2010, 03:26 PM

looks cool, different.. there an m6 like that.
