   I said it's not gay but I agree that it will look like a mish mash of panels you've had to find in a hurry :/

    A black bonnet does not look like carbon fibre. A black bonnet looks like you've smashed it up and are too cheap to get it sprayed. Maybe you could fuck it up with a large carbon effect sticker to go over the bonnnet?
    
    Danny, that one of yours looks mint with the black roof - the exception to the rule obviously!

    well thats the thing im not trying to imitate carbon bonnets im saying i like the way it contradicts to the rest of the car.
    
    the car is going through a blu and black theme just now like the lights wheels and i thought possibly the roof and bonnet

    If you mean something like this,
    
    http://www.streetracinggallery.com/g...us/eclipse.JPG
    
    then ye it looks ok because it contrasts the bright green. You can't contrast black with posi blue. Doensn't work well
    
    Found this too on google, see what you think;

    Black roof = win
    black bonnet = fail
    
    If you deffo want a black bonnet get it wrapped so you can peel it off in the future if you don't like it anymore

    But that is where the idea came from. I do see a few and if its not carbon or a full show car I just think 'poor wannabe'.

    But you can have a black carbon bonnet
    Or better have a carbon bonnet painted the same colour as your car.
