Turning My VX Into Rally VX

Allow me to sound like the party pooper here, but, I don't like it. Probably mostly because of the aura that surrounds that here. Around here, guys paint their hoods black because they can't afford-want that C/F look. And trust me, you see it a LOT. Sorry CC.... I am sure you have your reasons, but I am already brainwashed.

You know, I see this all the time too. I think what Coastie should do at this point is something to his hood insert to offset the tone of the hood now. Either paint the whole thing black, or paint the hood insert another color (like red or white) to bring the contrast back.Originally Posted by WormGod

And Coastie, let me say after all of this, that your VX is hot looking, I have always liked what you did, and you have the coolest looking rally VX out there, just offering my suggestions is all. It still looks baddddassss in my opinion.

As with all mods there’s a right and a wrong way to do just about everything.
Wormgod has a point. It seams like every kid with a Honda and some flat black spray cans is painting there hood. I do thing it look good on your VX but
Bart’s right, it needs a little something extra.
Good!
Bad!
Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

agreed....
try photoshopping to paint the insert and see how that feels...
hey, and dont bash white hoods on anything made in japan, ill post some pics of an STI i worked on (white) with a carbon fiber hood (seibon, probably well over $1000)
