New Black Hood + Gas Cap
« on: March 08, 2011, 07:54:18 pm »
Got a black hood and gas cap from pick-a-part the other day, I think it looks pretty nice but I thought the gas cap might look abit tacky. Only reason I really liked the gas cap was because of the Eagle vinyl, so what do you guys think?

It definitely seems to go well with the black roof, I have a similar paint scheme on my talon in forza 3 lol looks pretty good mind you its a 2gb.

Yeah I've definitely noticed the car's been getting more looks and with that I guess comes heat score lol :P.

I like the hood.

I would suggest the rear spoiler to be black too, that would look sharp.  Keep the bumpers red tho...

As for the gas door, I would have kept that red, but with the Eagle logo on the red door, in either white or red.

I do like the look of your car tho, the black hood and wheels set it apart.

Is it all running now?

Yeah I was thinking black spoiler too, only reason I picked up the gas cap was for the eagle vinyl but I suppose I could just buy one and put it on my red one lol. Yeah its all up and running, after I get all my gauges working hope to start modding a bit :).

Kevin I Saw those cf hatches and was really going to buy one but then did some research some don't hold the glass you gotta put Plexiglas or something which i didn't want and the ones that did hold the oem glass theirs no point your barely loosing any weight because the glass is what the weight is the hatch is actually pretty light.

Matt Here you Go





as in this one the pic is dark but you can see how the black flows with the roof.
