To paint or not to paint?? Just picked up new hood, has a few scratches on it but I was able to get most of them out with some rubbing compound. I am going to have it painted regardless but I kinda like how it looks in black, esp if I do the CETA mod... What do you guys think? Repaint hood black or paint it to match car?

I would paint the hood to match...It dosent look to bad, but my first thoughts would be:
To cheap to paint his new hood
Looks to much like a ricer carbon fiber hood

i say paint it to match, but if you paint some other features on our car black to match the hood it would look sick. i have seen it b4, a burnt orange 01 trans am with black features. it looked good.

If I kept it black I would do the ceta mod, black ruff racing 278 rims with polished lip and possibly black spoiler? Just tossing around a few ideas that would be different... probably just going to match

How would it appear to cheap if the hood is actually repainted a high-gloss black along with other accents on the car? I understand the "cheap" look if the hood appears to be out of place... but what if other parts are painted to match and an actual theme is setup?

Ok, decided after looking at a few other cars on painting hood red, and having black racing stripes painted on. Gonna paint hood red in end of Sept. and get stripes on a few months later. Should be nice.
