Matticus91, Have you decided how you're going to finish the hood? Or did I miss that and you already said?

Haven't yet! I definitely need to at least wrap it with ppf soon though, I don't want it exposed to too much sunlight. My current internal debate is if I paint it to match, it has zero resale value. BUT, I don't really ever intend to sell this car. I've been (somewhat passively) searching for a paint shop in the area that will do it without too much bother. The BMW shop was uneasy about the "technicalities" of painting the whole hood but not the vents.

Wonder if it's possible to put just a transparent layer of Carbon Black over the hood- still be able to see the CF if you look for it, but still get a slight bit of that black or blue depending on the angle aspect?
I dunno, probably not possible to pull it off the way I see it in my head, but it sounds cool- cake and eat it too kinda thing

Colored carbon is a real thing but is exceptionally expensive and has to be done during the creation process since the colors are on the CF weave itself.

Not really part of the build but did a bit of a trunk "revamp"! Got a nice looking bag to organize my tools and emergency equipment.
In the bag:
Under the trunk deck:
Also in the trunk is the original BMW triangle kit and an REI camp towel hanging above the bag. Happy with the way everything looks and how nicely it's secured now, no more loose stuff to slosh around! 20170705_165549 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20170705_165601 by Matt Steele, on Flickr 20170705_165610 by Matt Steele, on Flickr

Detailed!
Freshly detailed interior. I'm close to turning 70k miles but I'm happy to say the interior still looks like it's brand new.

All of the leather and plastics are in GREAT shape. I really just need to get the paint on par with the interior now 20170611_151736 by Matt Steele, on Flickr

Interior is looking great. Cleaning up after my border collie that rides with me a few times a week takes constant attention, so much respect on making yours look so mint! |

I painted this one myself in gloss black with the 3 ///M colored slats, I'm super happy with the way it came out and I don't think the matte would look quite as good considering there's no other matte on my car. That said, I've seen ones with matte wheels/other trim and it ties in nicely.

Car is looking great! I love how subtle the carbon hood is. Doesn't look too "in your face"

Honestly, it's killing me lol. I really want it to match the car but in some lighting it just looks so damn good.

Yeah, I'll bet it's going to be hard to make that decision to paint it.
