Default Be completely honest.

Currently, as you all know, Satin Black







Been on this idea for a LONG time now, pre-flat black. Please excuse my worse than usual PSing, my mouse died.







Obviously it would've been silver and black at the time, but that's out of the equation, now. So white and black will have to work. Plus I could do some rebadging again.

So, which one is less ?

BTW, yes, these pics have been around before, lol.

I may do it for the hell of it, not like the car's in pristine condition anyway... And if it's bad black paint is cheap, lol.

Still willing to hear some opinions.

I'm cheap, and would rather spend more on performance than looks. I don't care how it looks. Just wanted some input from people who would choose between the two options.

Not my section, but I like the white. It's different. Just my 2 cents.

Just ruined my rear cover and deck lid... Couldn't get a new GXP cover so I just patched it...

The bottom of the lid looks ok, but you can still see it's a little off. :-/

The rear looks wicked with the CETA look but I would just paint the entire hood white instead of "highlighting" the vent bulges.

1st thought would be to roll with the satin black. But listen; when something's on your mind like that for so long, your not going o rest until its done(usually)!! I say it would look unique. So, Go for it dude!! And that's being absolutely honest!!

Looks like the g8 theme. I like the white and black look. Should have been professionally painted though.
