I dig the engine bay and the color looks like a new car; although I think the hood should be one solid color, all white would look a little better I think.

Keep up the good work though!

Yeah, either way... i like the whole black and white thing, so if i ditch the projectors sometime soon, then i'll pick up the OE style headlights with the black housings. JDM or not doesnt really mean squat to me as long as it's tastefully done and looks good in the end.

as far as the hood goes... im not gonna stoop low enough to paint a fiberglass hood solid black... that'd be the Bitch way 4 achieving the CF look.... the only reason why i didnt go ALL white was because of the black roof... i just tried to do somethin different with the hood that would match up with the top of the car. I'm not thrilled with how the hood turned out, but it's gonna have to do until i can afford a CF one.

Not sure about the "bitch way" of achieving a "look" but its not like you bought CF vynil on a roll and used that to make your hood "look" black.

My hood on my car along with my roof and spoiler are all "black" and it looks just fine to me and so as far as i can tell most people seem to like it.

your car is ALOT cleaner looking then mine as far as paint goes, but i would ditch the projectors and just get oem lights and call it a day, black housing make the car look "dark" and dont usally flow very well with bright color paints (and yes i know i have smoked corner lights i also have sidemarkers to match i just havent installed them, but even so i still have oem headlights)

thats the first time ive seen your EG, I approve. As far at the thread starters car goes, get bright headlights, and keep the whole outside white, the whole contrasting thing with bright and dark colors pulls away from the new "clean look"

Wow that looks really nice, only upgrade I'd do is possibly get the front headlights smoked. It would complete your whole 'dark' greyish idea, which I think looks killer.
