Should I paint the hood or not? I'm getting the front bumper lenses filled and repainted so I might as well do the hood at the same time if I decide to. Here are some pics to help out....

Leave the hood carbon and paint your Mugen grill black.

id say leave it! it really works nice with the c/f mugen wing... or you could paint the mugen grill black, and then paint the hood silver on the sides, kinda like the greddy si from Super streat

...c/f hoods for our EP3s are more show than go (OEM hood is crazy light IMO)so keep it as is for its intended purpose "SHOW";) and plus it looks good as is.

I have to agree with teejoh. The black mugen sounds interesting too. What about paint the foglight bezels silver? You seem pretty good at photoshopping. I want to see what it looks like. :D

Is the hood actually carbon fiber? If so, I vote leave it and paint the grill. If it's just a black hood, paint it. I haven't voted yet...

I would leave the hood like it is until it starts to fade and look nasty. Then I would get it painted.

Leave the hood CF
Leave the grill silver

.....
what would you think if you saw a car that was silver with a black painted ANYTHING driving around on it?
cheap or ghetto no? :)

as for the CF hood...
you probably get the same look from the non knowing real life non "import" heads BUT
when u get close u see the pattern :)

save your $ and buy me a beer:D

and u know my cell :) call me if u need more negativity:*

Paint it. I'm starting to dislike the whole bare CF thing. But I can still understand why people would want to leave it unpainted. :cool:
