Repaint hood?

Alright so I didn't get a clear bra on my car and now I've got a zillion chips. What do you guys think I should do? Repaint and clear bra? Or...CARBON FIBER HOOD???

Hey Lek .. im in the same situation as you are ... actually my bumper isn't really that bad ... i just have marks on my side ... because i got keyed once and ... my dad hit my car while opening the passenger door of his car ......im going to get that fixed ... but as far as ... getting it repainted or Carbon fiber hood .. it definately depends on what kinda look you are going for... if you are going for the agressive sports car look .. then go get the carbon fiber hood .. even though people won't really be able to make out since your car is Black ... but repaint and Clear bra .. is goint to be a lot of $$$!! i have even heard bad stuff about the Clear bra on black .. that it turns slightly yellow after a while ( especially on black and white ) .... either way ur going to spend money ... CF hood will certainly be cheaper ... but this is what you get for getting a Black car ... my next car is definately not going to black .. dont get me wrong .. i love black .. i think it looks awesome .. especially in the night .. but there are a lot of downsides to it.

Dude stop telling me how I shouldn't have bought a black car! LOL HAHAHA The CF hood will be noticeable but not like it would in a lighter color. Plus I'm gonna get it in the same shape as the stock hood so basically my car will look as stock as possible.

lol .. Lek, i have a black car too ... i love it .. but i spend way too much time cleaning it just to have it looking dirty the next day ... and feel bad about all the little chips and marks on my car .. they arent VERY noticable ... but still ... it bothers me .. and i've seen the other colors .. and they look fine even when they arent very clean ..

Oh I know I used to have a silver car. LOL I never had to clean it. Looked shiney when it was dirty. But I'm not **** about it. I don't mind having dirt but can't stand the rock chips. Dirt will get on your car regardless unless you put a big bubble around it like in the movie Bubble Boy. LOL HAHAHAA
