I say paint it yellow also with some checkered flag 30th TA style stripes.

I'd have to consider maybe painting it like the one BrandonSS posted up, only let the black stop at the front edge of the hood (not onto the front bumper cover). I'm not sure how you could tie it into the black stripe down the side, but if you could figure out a way, I'd imagine it'd be hot.

I really like that car. Especially the graphics on the side, they go very well with the lines of the car! If i were you I would paint the hood like the picture that was posted a few posts up. Just looks badass. Whatever you do, badass car!

I have a CE. I found a hood for 20.00$ not ram air. I am thinking of painting it black and puting a bird on. You can get a bird for 150.00$. If you do it I can see what is looks like.lol

It looks killer the way it is now.
Im not a fan of black hoods, but that does look real good on your car with the other black accents.
Also, i like those wheels.
With that black hood, stripes on the side, those wheels, you have a one of a kind.
Oh yea, you asked a question, i dont know the answer

Dont care for either to be honest.

I would do 30th stripes, or a blackbird-esq scheme. For the 30ths, paint the hood yellow then do black and graphite stripes (black outters with graphite inner and make the tail feathers of the bird black, and the body graphite. Do the same thing on the front plate, and paint the rear section black - ala CETA). With the blackbird scheme, i'd paint the / and \ portions of the hood black (the vertical portions of the nostril) and then make it flow back into your door graphics.

Looks nice, I would not paint it just black, make it flow smoothly into the rest of the car, starting from the nose...and maybe get rid of the side stripes, and find some smoked or charcoaled wheels. Other than that, nice ride.
