yellow highbeams on a crappy silver car - how original. ;-)

Seriously, primer would look better than that.

neon pink ftw

I think it would look good. And what do you have to lose? Might end up looking pretty good.

You could go REALLY ghetto and get contact paper from a craft store and cover it in that. They sell it in all kinds of colors and even in different textures. Imagine a faux swede hood!

HA! suprisingly the rest of the car looks great when its washed and waxed! Up until about 2 1/2 years ago I rocked some Mercedes 300D amber fogs until I hit a guardrail and squished the passenger front fender and curled the hood under. I pulled a hood off of an 85 318i in the junkyard hence the paint scab thing...

anyways, I'll be flat black-ing as soon as I find the time...thanks for the input!
