Okay so I found a guy parting out a car and I got four newish GSX 17in rims, I'm going to paint them, but i'm not sure what color. Should I go black? Or something different. I have a white car. Also, I could buy the black hood off of the parts car, would a stock black hood look good on a white car? Or should I just save up for a carbon fiber
 
Dont half ass it by putting a Black hood on it.

And those wheels look tits with gunmetal gray paint.
 
Yep, but keep in mind this is a CF hood.

Just think though, the money NOT spent on the black hood can be saved for a CF hood. I love mine, and it was well worth the money.
 
It's your car. Do what you think would look good. make it unique from other dsm's.... personally I think it would look cool if you did a 2 tone theme.. black hood, black Mitsubishi decals, 5% tint on all windows, black side markers, black rims with white lug nuts... & white lettering on your tire sidewalls? there's a million possibilities

How much was yours? and where did you get it?

Yeah dude, my theme for the outside was gonna be white and black. :D
 
Cant go wrong with white and black i do like flat black though maybe do a flat black rim with a white trim! oh and if you had big brake kit you could do white lettering! Carbon fiber hood would look sexy

My hood is the stock hood painted black. I'll be going Carbon Fiber as soon as I can but I've got more important mods to spend money on than weight reduction at the moment.

flat black on front and gloss on the back... any kind of black would look gnarly
