Thread: White car Black hood? yes?

Hey guys, i know i will probably get a lot of **** for this but i saw a white grand prix the other day with a black hood really quick. I was wondering if anyone has seen any pictures of how this would look. It would go with my black and white theme. Just looking for input. Thanks guys

Leave it white.

Looks like you're poor.

haha i thought if it was nicely done it would look good. Gloss black

It can not be done nicely.

^^^^ That

Some people like them and some people don't but a white hood with black striping that is carried from the hood through the trunk could look much better than a black hood I think

Drunkie is looking to do something like that, only he has an 04+ GP.

97-03 and 04-08 can't necessarily mimic either. If it works well for Dave, don't expect that it will look good on a 97-03 (though it might).

Regardless, most people assume black hood, different colored car means "broken piece of ****" or something along those lines. As mentioned, to make it look good, you'd have to black out the roof and trunk and spoiler.

Go carbon Fiber. Problem solved.

another form of, 'im too poor to paint my car'.

exposed carbon fiber is super, crazy rice. it serves one purpose: being light. if you are using it to say '**** YEAH I GOT CARBON FIBER!', then you're an idiot.

just saying that's a one of like 7 or 9 carbon fiber hood so he is not poor haha, this car was stolen, stripped and ditched for it's rare parts

Paint the hood white. No carbon fiber, no black hood.

Somebody, somewhere said something along the lines of "Clean is the new "cool"".

He was probably an idiot, but I think is words speak true here


White car needs a white hood, I'm all for accents, even getting a CF hood and painting it all BUT leaving accents. Just has to be clean.

If you got and F1 or SD carbon fiber hood and painted all of it except for the raised scoop part, that might be kinda cool... but that's really the only way i can see pulling it off.

I think i'm going to order this hood and get the scallops painted black for accent. opinions?

Jeremy did it, his car is silver, but same concept.

Not to be following in Jeremy's footsteps, especially since my GTP is silver too. I planned on getting a SD hood and spoiler and stripping in black from the end of the "scallops" back to just before the spoiler. None on the bumpers, just clean wide stripes that flow with the car.

Similar to ^^^ that... just with the SD hood instead. & Silver on Black lol
