ClaireRZ-S Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi lads thinking of getting a carbon bonnet soon as i think it will go well with the trd spoiler still in two minds about it though as i'm not sure it will look nice on the car. Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Perhaps a photoshop? Or a look at the many other white cars with carbon bonnets. You could always have your current bonnet sprayed black, to see if you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd say no, looks very nice in all white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer it in carbon though i think and would probably work out dearer getting it sprayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 prob not the bonnet is 700 new looking for 400 for it i can have simon paint it when my car is in the bodyshop white I dont see any reason why you cant rub it back down to carbon and re laquer it but to be honest in white i think would look so much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was really unsure about going down the carbon bonnet route, but when Ash decided to sell his decided to try it and sell it on if necessary. I know mine is silver but it looks much more aggressive now and everyone that has seen it likes it, I am very happy with the look and I am pleased I gave it a go, as already said put up a thread asking for someone to photoshop it for you, it gives an idea.

Gazboy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Carbon is great if you want to look like a beaten up old banger with a panel from a scrap yard. Reminds me of blue Seirras with a maroon drivers door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think it depends on the car, some can pull it off, some can't. Also some days I like carbon bonets, others I don't. That said one thing I never tire off is a nice clean white car. Take Waynes above for example, that looks much better blue, I don't think it would suit a full carbon bonnet.

3LL Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think carbon on white does go well [sometimes] I would deffo reccomend a photoshop first, but that Blue bonnet sprayed white would look amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 yeah it could i'm getting the car compounded the weekend and then i'll take some decent pics and will try the photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Their is a definate personal preference thing here, but that goes for the whole modding/kits thing. Different kits come and go, choices change. I have really noticed a lot of people prefering the stock look or Ridox kit now, and the last couple of years it was the Do-luck front and Trial rear. It all comes down to your personal taste and in my opinion what helps make the Supra so great, :Das it can look awesome in so many illkes;) Edited February 3, 2009 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
