what you guys think?

[CoastieCosta567]

ok, what you guys think? so i really would like to do this mod, like that rally proton JDM edition, but the one thing thats stopping me, is i'm not completly sold, and never will, so the only way i will end up doing this is by buying another VX hood, don't care about insert even though that would be awsome. So if any of you guys out there have or know where theres a spare Hood laying around of any color, black would be better but i don't care i'll just paint it or fake Carben Fiber it. So please let me know, thanks guys.

I would just do it if I liked it. I don't think a black painted hood will affect the value at resale and many would like having one if looking (JMHO). Besides some hard cutting or fake geegaws (liks a super spoiler), there's not much that would affect the resale with the price the VX has fallen to.

I'd skip the carbon fiber stick on paper...it's just cheesy squared. Like putting flame decals all over it. As for painting it black, I'm with John...unless you paint it with a brush, it won't affect the value a bit. Matte or even flat would look great. If I get a second VX it will be repainted using a matte clear coat. Dragon green or black.

IMHO - I prefer the hood the way it is. I like the look of the contrast with the insert.

i love my hood right now, and thats why i don't want to paint this one, i want a second hood for that reason, so if i get tiered of it, i'll change it back, but yeah i understand what all you guys are saying, thanx for openions.

I am with Tom, not really diggin it. I would leave it.

i'll try to be there, if the Uncle Sam lets me, but yeah thats what i planned on doing, i was going to paint the hood the same color as the insert, the insert is a semi gloss black, it's just that photo shop makes it look more blake then really is, and also the photo has shading, water and dert on it and so on, i did that photo shop in my windows paint thingy, so it kinda sucked. also the cladding is getting painted semi-gloss or flat black aswell. just taking things slow with the small amount of cash i already get from Uncle Sam.

If anybody could pull it off you could. I have been debating polishing my insert or painting to match the body. Either way I am taking that thing off to modify it somehow.
