i have a pewter 01 TA vert. black top black painted c5 rims. well i found someone who is gonna sale me a ws6 black ram air hood. i like the black to pewter contrast. and i think the black hood would also go well. im waiting for pics of the hood but he says its in excellent shape. does anyone else have a setup close to this? i have tried photo shopping my own hood but.. yea one just flat black makes it like nothing is their lol. and i am not good enough to paint a ws6 hood on their. anyhow pics opinions ect.

It should look good black with the top and wheels

im glad i got some supporters. i too think one being a ws6 will add more aggressive look. and second being a different color will draw even more attention to it.

which i have another question. my rims i just used black flat engine enamel paint. kinda flakes off after a bit and such. i dont know much about painting. but would it benefit me more to like try sanding down the rims and putting primer on first then painting over? the clearcoat on the rims are damages as it is from a previous painting skew where i had used to paint remover and it aite through the clearcoat in some places. so not im just trying to figure out how to get the closest black professional look on the rims. using my own 2 hands.

and i always see people using primer on the body of cars but wasnt sure of the steps for painting rims.

It'll look good. If you don't like it you can always paint it later.

true but ive been told ill be charged an arm and a leg to match my pewter color

when i was a young lad my folks had a pewter color firebird like that, the front bumper was replaced due to a very light front end collision. the people who painted it had to repaint it 4 times in attempt to find the proper paint color. they woudl paint it, it would and dry and when it dried, it was waaayy off. so yes, it is pricey to find the right paint color. however if your car has the sticker with the code, (or maye its in the VIN) you should be set, but no guerantee

It would look incomplete to me, I would paint the flat part of the hood and leave the scoops black, just me though.

i think it will look good as long as the hood isnt flat black, to me that allways looks like there just to damn lazy to paint the hood.

heh not gonna be flat black it s a hood from a 2000 TA. and atm i can lower my car any.

their really is no such thing as lower a convertible that has a TSP true dual exhaust and i have mine tucked up as possibly high as it can go.

it would look good if you painted your wing black to go along with it.

btw, you need some wider tires on those rims.


the black roof will definitely complete the two toned look possibly even black headlight covers?
