Cobra R hood?

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 09:18 PM

Will the Cobra R hoods align well on our GT's with the stock bumper? Will there be much of a gap?

Also what do you guys think of a flat black Cobra R hood on a silver GT? Yes or no? How would it look just to paint it flat black and clear coat over it?

What's the difference between the 95 style and the 2000 style? The 2000 has a louver vent and the 95 doesn't, right?

You mean like this?????????

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 09:30 PM

YES! Is that the 95 or 00? What brand?

and i notice it fits perfectly!

mell0 · March 28th, 2010, 09:34 PM

that looks like the 95 cobra r. the 00 cobra r has that hump up top with the little depressions in it.

Thats a 95 R

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 09:35 PM

So we got that outta the way, 95 is the way I wanna go.

Now what about painting it flat black on my silver car? What about flat black that's been cleared over?

war1ock · March 28th, 2010, 09:45 PM

It depends. If you flat black it then do a regular clear it with be gloss black. But most body shops can use a flat black with a flat clear to give it the nice flat look but still have the clear protection

"Now what about painting it flat black on my silver car? What about flat black that's been cleared over? "

Youll need to put flattener in the clear, or it will still be glossy. I think itll look like shit like the rest of the multi colored cars running around but thats just my opinion. Its your car do what will make you happy/what you think will look best not other people.

MikeJones · March 28th, 2010, 09:47 PM

flat black would look good with black lights. black rims. dark tint.

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 09:48 PM

That's what I meant, to keep the flat black look with clear coat protection.

What's yalls opinions on this?

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 09:49 PM

rims are out of the question, but i'm getting the windows tinted next week.

JayC...It says on the AM that they come unpainted, so does that mean it comes in black primer?

SS Ball3r · March 28th, 2010, 10:50 PM

i dont know what they were thinking when they designed the 2000 cobra r hood. It just seems so ugly to me. The 95 however kicks ass.

BlackTXMagic · March 28th, 2010, 11:05 PM

id do it flat black but the whole smoked tails rims accents etc are way over used. IMO that is. post up pics when you get it on!

SS Ball3r · March 28th, 2010, 11:12 PM

what would look really nice is if you did the outside in the body color of your car and then did the center section of he hood in matte black.

ITS ME DAVID · March 28th, 2010, 11:19 PM

Just color match it with ur car
unless your going with that
wetback look

jdos1 · March 28th, 2010, 11:23 PM

It'll be a while before I can do anything, I just sank everything I have in the mod fund into my suspension...so It'll be about 2.5 months.

SS Ball3r- +1 about the 00 looking like crap and I've actually been thinking about doing that.

I don't see how that's "wetback" look unless you get a fake carbon fiber hood?

I may just get it color matched, it all depends on the difference in the painting price.

00GT5spd · March 29th, 2010, 12:06 AM

i had my hood and wing flat black on my sliver car with my tinted windows black head and tail lights it looked sick!

Actually most shops use a glossy black with a satin clear. There's a big difference between satin and flat too. Flat just looks like a damn chalkboard that's in primer or something. Satin still has a little bit of a sheen to it and actually looks good, but only when it's completely satin or just accents in satin. The whole hood in black will just look like you bought a different hood and didn't have it painted.

Oh and by the way, have a GOOD body shop paint the satin clear. If it doesn't go on perfectly it's going to be different luster levels and look cheap as hell. And there's no sanding/buffing out imperfections with satin paint
