Heres the deal, I want a Cobra R SVO hood but if I buy it now it wont be painted until next spring ( keep in mind the car goes up for storage in the late fall ) b/c I want to get the whole car repainted next yr in a diffrent color. So pretty much I would have the car the rest of this summer/fall w/ an unpainted hood b/c I dont want to pay to have it painted Red now when the plan is to repaint the whole car a diffrent color. I know I can wait until I go to get the car painted before I buy it but between painting the car, new rims/tires and new bumper Id like to get some of the cost out of the way now so I dont have as much to pay for next spring. So is it ok to run around w/ it like that for the next few months or is it just to tacky??
Is it stupid to do this...Unpainted body parts??

Just fasten it old school with 6 or 8 hoodpins down the sides. It will look so bad ass that nobody will question its unpainted state. Plus whenever you wrench on your car you can have the hood totally out of the way.

I ran around for about a year with an unpainted hood. My girlfriends car is red and has an unpainted white hood. People always ask whats with the white hood??? It's usually only the people who aren't in to cars at all though.

Yeah right have parts for the car and not put them on and just leave them sitting there...... I think not
I did enough of that this spring, when I get something now I want it on A hood is so easy to swap I dont think I could just leave it in the garage, Id have to put it on.I know the feeling. When I order something I start collecting tools and what not and just wait for the Big Brown Truck in my front lawn like a lost puppyStriped5.0 said:Yeah right have parts for the car and not put them on and just leave them sitting there......

thats true as well, might not look to bad then. No way that Im going to pay to have it painted now and then have it repainted in the spring, and its to hard to leave it laying around all fall/winter w/ out it on the car.
