I am toying with the idea of apinting the hood of my car black, and leeaving the hood scoop dark silver. Does anyone want to some photoshopping for me?

This Mini's hood does not incorporate the bumpers (fenders) like the new MINI's does. The effect is quite different (although I don't like this either).

The only car on which I have ever appreciated this look is the old Acura Integra Type R.

For about the same price as painting the bonnet we could provide you a mutli-piece graphic to wrap the thing. We could do this in black or a cool carbon fiber look. The good thing is ours can be removed when you change you mind or decide to buy the 04 model. Matt@cooperflags.com

I just use the prebuilt cars. Too lazy to make my own. The configurator download can be found by doing a quick forum search here on MCO.

the flare was just to soften the hard (unsteady) edge along the light....

Sorry you guys hate flares. Flares are innocent and never mean to offend or harm anyone. Give Flares a chance.
I do not want to live in a world that hates flares.
