So I did a brief search on this, couldn't find anything. Since I'm blacking out the rear end of my car (black emblems, taillights and lip) I was thinking about painting the U, type thing at the end of the hood black. Kind of like what BUNIQUE did but vice versa. Keeping hood silver but painting the U indent black. Has anyone done this or knows anyone that did this? If so, how did it look. And is you were to do it, would you have it professionally done or is this something you think is do-able to paint on your own? If anyone needs a photoshop demonstration of exactly what I mean, let me know, I'll post a picture on the RX8 I got the idea from though.

Thanks!

was painting my hood recently and thought about doing it....


randomly i saw a SS rx8 on the road with it painted black and i liked it. go for it! - oh and i would have it professionally done. for sure

It looked good? Nice, yeah I'm probably going to do it. How much do you think having that professionally done would cost?

Doesnt NYCDriftKing have that part black?

ZachLegend

I looked at the pics in his album, didn't see it. So unless he did it now and its not in his album, I don't think so.

Why not cut some black vinyl and put it on the V on the hood? some guy had his like that in Vegas. It held up great in the heat and rain. Did not fade. Look cool if your going for that 2 tone look.

dumb question: Where would I get that? and how much? Sorry :/

Custom sign shops should do it and as far as the price goes you should only be looking at around 50 dollars or so.

And the best part about doing it in vinyl a that if you end up not liking it a high power hair dryer will take it right off for you... Cheap, removable and looks good, I'd go this route
