    painted my hood.

    Got my hood painted black, still on my way to start racing, and i'm almost there. I'm starting to go race in the rallycross here in corpus christi, they race every month once a week in the weekends. it's run by SCCA.

    Wow!! That looks really good! Some how it makes it look more serious.

    Coastie, I have to say, I honestly liked the way it looked before. HOWEVER, maybe you need to paint your insert white now? I just feel like the lack of contrast is slightly off putting now. But don't listen to me if you are liking it!

    EDIT: or maybe even red?

    I was thinking of doing this. I also want to do accross the top of the truck too. I kinda agree with Bart tho. Maybe I will still do it and paint the Rising Sun on the insert.

    Talking

    But the hood insert is black, it's flat black, and the hood itself is flat black with a clear coat, making it a little glossy but still flat if compared to a factory black painted car. you can't tell the diffrence really in person, other then the insert, it has no shine at all, thats it. I want to get the cladding around the whole VX painted with some rhino liner stuff but not bumpy. And thats the only thing on my VX thats really not black anymore, but grayish. Then it will look better when painted with black rhino stuff, i think.
