I did a search and came up with nothing. Now that my boyds are sold I'm set on a set of black wheels. I'm getting a new hood before springtime and I want to keep it flat-black. Also will be painting the rear bumper cover flat black like the 02/CE, so anyone have pics of a flat black hood installed? Personally I think the black hood,rear and black wheels are going to set the car off. Plus that makes it one step closer to my black on black future paint job years from now!

It may sound cool in theory, but when its done it'll look like A. You wrecked it or B. Cant aford to paint the hood.

"I" think its going to look bad ***, and thats what counts. There is a guy here who has a ws6 lt1 with a 4in ram air hood. It looked awesome, he kept the hood black for almost a year. I have yet to see one on a white ls1, so i dont see how its going to look like ***.

I'm getting so sick of that stupid emoticon. People apparently have no idea what it means.

In regards to the flat black hood, only on a black car! I don't like the idea, but if that's what floats your boat, it's your car- go for it!

to keep the hood from looking unfinished to the ignorant (most people) you could always just do the stripes in flat black. it would look really good to do the tops of the WS6 scoops in flat black i think.

I've seen flat black parts on gloss black cars. That's just like when the ricers don't paint their carbon fiber hoods just leave them unfinished. Looks like ****. Looks like you wrecked it or didn't have the money to paint it.

It attracts attention to your car, but not the kind most would go for. To each their own. But I think it will suck.

ignorant? He's asking for opinions, so if he doesn't want them, why would he ask??? Not everyone is going to like a particular choice you might make, but who cares? If you want to do something, you should just do it. That's why every other car on here looks like another one. People do what everybody else does, and very few do anything that's original.

So im assuming since this guy didnt paint the CF on this lambo, its rice huh

one thing to consider is flat black paint can be really hard to pull off correctly. maybe some paint experts on here can help with this, but from what i have seen, the paint can have different shades or spots in it. also may be hard to maintain, since the surface remains rough. just some observations

Firehawk0220

Yeah basically. That car looks like crap. It's too busy and is RICED out. Doesn't matter what's underneath it.

From a pure appearance standpoint I think it's nasty. That's my opinion. Hoods not painted look like rice.

It's a Lambo so performance wise I'm sure it's badass. Looks wise I'd rank it only slightly above a Honda Accord.

i dont think it will really look right, but another guy said, flat black stripes, it would look sweet with black wheels and the bumper portion also in flat black
but the whole hood flat black on a white car just would look off
might wanna get somebody to photoshop it up for ya, so you can get an idea of how it will look before it is really done, good luck with whatever you go with

i think the flat black hood may look alright, like on the 69 boss mustang. i don't know though. and im tired of everybody calling everything the ricers have done crap. they do have a few (not many) good ideas.

I think the flat black stripe and bumper inserts only would be nice, but not the whole thing.
And somebody correct me, isn't the "werd" icon meant to mean "i agree" ?

you got that right. thats why i am getting rid of my boyds. I am the only one around here with them(omaha) just sick of them. And everybody and their momma is rolling tt2s/smoothie2s on this site. Yeah alot of people are getting zo6s rims now. So the black on black on black will set mine apart. I'm pretty damn sure people can put 2 and 2 together that i can afford to paint my hood if the wheels are black, the rear is black and the hood is black. Oh and black overlays as well. They might just realize that I wanted to leave the hood black.
