And no it's not a Penil implant, i'm ok with my small package......

Ok so i want to black out my hood, either buy an aftermarket hood which is alot of $$ and get it painted, or get this one painted matte black.

I called several shops, the job costs anywhere from $300-$550. Most places said NO WARRANTY except Maaco. I know Maaco is hit or miss, but they have a lifetime warranty on their work.

Also look at my car should i get the hood scoop painted or leave it shiney the way it is??? I'm also gonna have the windshield squirter deleted and filled holes.

OR get the Cervini 4 inch cowl hood...........

If you're going to leave it matte black, why not use vinyl? I know a few people have ordered from www.sitckercity.com

I've seen this thread before. O.o

Leave it alone. Getting one body panel painted a different color from the rest of the car looks hoopty. And if a shop won't give you a warranty, I wouldn't trust them.

So re-do the stripes and hood scoop in matte black.

4 in cowl hood is too tall. Looks stupid.

All reality if you have a painted hood makes people think its a carbon fiber hood... Than when not its kinda like why pay 500 bucks to have it painted when you could have bought a nice cervini hood and had them paint it and it be like 700 to 800 maybe less depending on what you got.. Kinda just seems like a waste.. I wouldn't do it but to each is his own..

whyxitx · October 3rd, 2011, 05:15 PM

LethalDosage · October 3rd, 2011, 08:30 PM

Matte black cowl hood FTW!!

...just not the 4 inch version.

Mach1dmb! · October 3rd, 2011, 10:10 PM

Shorter cowl hood maybe? Honestly, I think your car looks awesome how it is!

Don't tell him that. He wanted to use bedliner on his hood. Don't encourage stupid shit like this.

You know from what i seen, it actually looks good.

I already decided to do this to my rear decklid cover, it's getting all faded looking and i have to always put meguiers shine on it or else it looks like ass.
