I think it looks good but now you need more carbon fiber to accent it. Ive seen real carbon fiber sold like a vinyl. you buy a sheet and cut out what ever you want it to look like and put it on.

yeah I know whatcha mean. I wanted to get a decal down the side of my car (stripe) a while ago in a gunmetal color, but another galant around my way silver with the same kit, got the decal (well similiar to it) so I never went through with purchase. He also has a partially painted CF hood, painted differently though. So I dunno, I really dont want the cars to look the same. I also have tinted taillights which kinda accent, and I am gonna be putting on a rear window visor which is smoke color, that will accent, and who knows maybe there will be a CF trunk in the future.

yous think this will help out with the look of the hood on my car

put the sunguard on the car temporarily to see how it would look, gotta scrape the decal off the rear of the car before I mount permanently
also pic of reflective decal over the rear emblem

i saw that you were talking about adding a decal to your car. i recently ordered some decals from www.graphxonline.com and they worked out really well. they can design whatever you want, and arent too expensive. hope that helps!

get the actual hood no stickers, it will free up some weight and look way better

I can't see the pics either, I just figured it was because of my work computer. I think the CF hood will look good with the rims playing off it, I think that's enough to tie it together. As for the stick on Carbon fiber.....it's not for me- although it looks nice, it's defeating the main purpose of CF which is to reduce weight- but that's just my 2 cents.
