So 2 weeks a go a lady backed up with her SUV into my car and destroyed my hood, fender, shattered my headlight and scratched my bumper. I finally got my car back yesterday and had a chance to wash it today. For those of you who are thinking that that is a CF hood, its not .Since im kind of tight with money right now, i just had the hood color matched to the wheels and im reeally happy with the results. Here are some pics...

your car is nice, but painting your hood to match your wheels??? wtf are you doing? if you dont have money for a cf hood, keep the hood the same color as the rest of the car!
no offense...but i bet a lot of people will be laughing when they are up close at your car.

Exactly. It doesn't look half as bad of what you see people do here.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I know painting the hood etc etc is not the best thing i could of done, but i thought it was nice option since the hood i bought came flat ready to paint. Is not like a changed the color of the hood itself.
