Black hood (bonnet)

I saw a white X6 with Hamann carbon fiber hood ! so I thought of a black hood will look almost the same. What do u thing guys ?

I like it..may want to do the roof as well...follow the theme up and over the truck.

If one were to do it, I would agree that blacking the roof out as well would be an idea worthy of consideration. Where the rails attach is a natural break point for the black to white.

But frankly, it doesn't do much for me. Kinda makes me think of a photo negative of a skunk. But that's just me, and no one has ever accused me of having great artistic judgment.

I think it looks bad a$$!! Hot lookin ride! The only thing is it completely blends in with the kidney grills. I agree, you might want to complete the look and do the roof and trunk in black as well. I remember seeing a carbon fiber hood for the E70 on ebay. Might still be there ifyou do a search...

Looks like a new hood that is waiting to be painted. Need to continue it up the roof, but probably not a good idea in your part of the world to paint the horizontal areas of a car black.

:rofl: Look at all those white cars. Guess everybody is trying to keep their cars as cool as possible!

Anyway, I think it looks great. If you followed up with a black roof, it would flow better. Then again, like Thunder22 said, you might not want to do that because of heat.

May I suggest:
1. Clear coat the hood, or better, paint glossy black and then clear coat.
2. Paint the roof glossy black with clear coat.
Would love to see the pics if you choose to do this! :thumbup:
