I'm with this guy.

The black hood looks lazy/ricer as ****. Paint it all back pewter and have them hit the mirrors while they're at it...destroys the flow of the car.

I agree with the other poster. Paint it pewter. Including the mirrors. The black looks tacky imho. Leave the berger if you like it though.

Keep it all pewter or if you choose to do the 2 tone, make it look more intentional like these pictures...
