Need opinions on hood color
1 Attachment(s)
I want to purchase a raised hood this week for my 98 Vert. The car is white and I am having trouble deciding between a white hood or matte black hood. I've attached some pics of the style hood I want in white and black. Any thoughts?

Definitely white. The black looks cool for a bit but then it starts looking like an unpainted hood.

Def go with white but if you want some contrast, throw a black stripe design on it (along the sides of the scoop, center of the hood, etc).

White with black sunoco style stripes would be my way !
|
Some black bezel Blackbird Lighting projector headlights would also set things off well ;).

White.

White looks best.What about a white carbon fiber wrap?

IMO definitely the white ! looks super clean like almost stock looking but super aggressive.

Thank you guys! White seems the way to go. Now can anyone recommend where to buy a hood? Is eBay safe? I've ordered motorcycle fairings on eBay and they've always had fitment issues and had a tendency to melt and crack.

guilty of the 'it looks ok black now, ill paint it someday' and never have
|
Vfn and glasstech are both good companies but they will both require trimming and fitment.

If I had to do it again, I'd have purchased an OEM hood, but that's not an option in your case since you're looking for a non-OEM style hood. How important is fit & finish in your case? If you're willing to gamble, no-name eBay models may suit your needs. It depends on what your car is "overall." However, if you're more critical and think you'd like something with more R&D, then it may be a safer bet to spend a few hundred more and stick to the more reputable manufacturers. Usually, neither case will match OEM--which was designed on a virgin car. Ultimately, as far as Fit & Finish is considered, the decision boils down to a trade off between Time & Money. |
I bought a cheap (300 shipped) WS6 hood from the bay and it fit like **** and cracked very easily. My body guy spent over 20 hours on fitting it & painting it.
