Are you talking about what I'm talking about doing? Or do you mean have the whole hood painted but leave the spot where the hood stripe goes unpainted so the CF shows through?

I personally would go CF and get the original paint scheme of the Mach. Leave the Mach stripe CF. I think the black looks good but I like the stock look.

Well, you only have to put in $100 and then pay the rest when they're done. The problem for you will be the shipping. Lucky for me, the guy who's setting up the group buy will be the one to be picking up the hoods and he's relatively local to me. So that saves me $100-200. So all I have to do is pay for the hood itself.

seems like a waste of money to me, to do it correctly you would have to blend the paint with the fenders and the stripe and everything will probably cost more. And in the end it will look about the same as your car now with a different texture stripe.

Yea but it's those little things (well...a hood really isnt little i guess) that make these cars unique. How many other Machs would you run into with a real CF hood and the Mach scheme.

That's why I was looking at leaving the cowl portion of the hood unpainted.
