    i just think #2 incorporates the Grill so much better and won;t make the grill look outta place.

    I do like #1 myself better, but it just that grill that is the coin toss, i am goin to check into getting that grill Overlayed with CF.

    Oh the difference is the #1 goes all the way down and surrounds the grill and #2 just shows the CF on the hood and the rest is painted black so it flows better with the grill.

    yea, i agree that it is better to have the whole hood cf or not at all. the way you have it in the pictures makes it look like just a sticker overlay unless your planning to have a custom hood made.

    I love the idea of #1, but to me there's so little that's painted that you might as well go all CF, imho. I've seen an e36 bimmer that looked great with the center portion CF and sides painted, but the raised portion is less area for that hood.

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
