Ok guys i am gonna have to get my front bumper repainted real soon so i am thinking about painting the sides of my c/f hood painted white . What do you think and how much do you think it will cost to do both the hood and front bumper! I have the dual vented C/F hood from xcelerated concepts
 
i say - "don't do it" - instead, you should get your roof painted black
 
I say dont do it..Because if you ever want to sell the hood..Its only good to a matching White car. Do Vinyl on the hood if you must have that look.

Ok..Lets see...this isnt the first time this has been thought of or done...if you cant decide how you want your car modded...then maybe you shouldnt mod your car...Do YOUR thing..not what everyone else says.
 
im not one for the painted side on the carbon hood. its all or nothing in my eyes. but im in for the painted black roof. i think it would look good on your car.
 
i say do it..i did it on mine...i think it looks sick

Repaint your bumper white. Paint the sides of your hood white. Either find a carbon fiber overlay or paint the roof black.

Attached ate some pictures of 2 tone paint schemes.
