Default Help me figure out what paint design goes on my CF hood.

I have the carbon fiber hood in the lower picture. If anyone can help me come up with a design I would GREATLY be thankful. I was thinking of torch red candy on the sides to show the carbon fiber and solid red in the center. Leaving raised side solid carbon fiber. It goes in for paint work next week. If you want to photo shop please feel free...I will have a Tiger shark front nose also.

Here is a front view.

Closer view..

Love to see some photoshop work....
Jon

Can't help you with photoshop. I do well just to post my signature picture, but if it were me, I'd continue the theme you have on the sides. I'd trim the outside of it in red and angle the "X-box" across the hood". Where you've got the gray and black trim around "X-Box" on the sides, that's what I'd leave alone and let the carbon fiber show through. I think that would integrate the design of the car and yet show off the c-f.

Just my .02 cents.

Sounds good, I forgot to say...the graphix are all off the car now. Redoing it but not like that much more suttle.

What do the side graphics look like now? That would've been perfect to continue the old look on the hood, just like on the sides. Screw subtlety, you have an outrageous and cool car, wouldn't seem right to tone it down.

I plan on having ghost flames on mine eventually. Sorry, my Photoshop skills look like kindergarten art time.
