White T/A with Black or White WS9 Hood? hello everyone, I'm in a situation here, I posted a while ago whether or not to paint my T/A black or keep it white. After hearing what others went through as well as the price of painting a car, I decided to leave it white, for now at least. Now the question, I put my ws9 hood on yesterday (it came coated black fiberglass from U.S. Exotics) and after about 2 hours of trying to aligning it, I got it to close at least so I left it somewhat "off-alginment" for now. I took it to work and my buddies went crazy about it, I told them I was going to have the hood painted white and most were saying it looked badass like that (Black). So now it got me thinking about having the hood and headlights black and the rest white, with charcoal metallic accents (Accents still being undecided). has anyone seen this combination on a T/A, what do you guys think about it? I tried to find one to post up but had no luck. It does look pretty cool though on my T/A. I'll get a pic posted sometime this week. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Let's see a pic of the car with the headlights photoshopped black. I think if you painted down onto the nose a little it would tie it into the car, but otherwise it might look like you're waiting to have your headlights and hood painted.

Yeah its hard to decide without seeing a pic. I don't like the picture I have in my head. To me I think it would look like you bought a hood (which you did), or that you got in a wreck and didn't have the money to finish the paint off. I like it when cars look stock, or flow well. The image I have just seems too abrupt of a color change. But I could be completely wrong! Get those pics up!!

My Idea on another T/A Never had the chance to upload a pic of my T/A with the hood black, but check out these videos which basically has the same concept except mine has the Ram-air hood. (BTW If you like the first video, wait to you see this beast on the 2nd one, on the dyno.)

Out of about 20 people I tell I'll paint my hood white, they think I'm crazy (anotherwords 20/20 say to leave it black) what do you guys think? I'm getting used to the black hood and it's not so bad, I'll be putting black TTM's this coming summer.

Pics With the hood black Here they are, I think it looks pretty good, I plan on doing the ceta mod, and adding black wheels later on.

Looks like crap to me, nobody outside an F-bod owner would even notice the lower nostril's being painted, other than that it looks like you had to buy a hood a headlight doors and didn't bother to paint them. I'd paint it white, white TA's are gorgeous IMO.

White is classy. I think you should go with having it painted white.
I do think that the photoshop pic is definitely unique looking but if you do the front like that it would need to carry over to the back too. Maybe paint the top of the spoiler and your sail panel.
