Ok what do you people think about a Carbon Fiber hood (vented style) on a black Civic? Think it looks good or is it pretty much a waste of time? If anyone has a pic of such a thing please post a link so I can check it out.

Also how much does it cost (basic idea) to repaint a car a different color? Like I said, my car is black and I was thinking of painting it Silver (sweet with a carbon fiber hood I think). I dont need an exact price, 'cause I know, "prices may vary by your location" just a basic, round about figure would be much appreciated.

Finally, eyebrows, yay

or nay

? And with the Carbon Fiber hood?

CF on black looks ok....doesnt stand out or anything if thats what you are looking for.
click the link in my sig and view the 96-00 Civic Hatch galleries, there are a few black civics w/ CF hoods.

repaint a car - about $1500.
color change - about $2500-$5000 especially if you want the ENTIRE inside done and the engine bay. id keep the engine bay black, this way if you want to paint again sometime down the road, black matches everything.

Oh damn the engine bay! I never even thought of that HA

. But yeah I'd leave it black too, along with inside being the same, im kinnda lazy and it'd probably look fine...mabye. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
