The newest BGT. Blacked out and Brushed Aluminum Look Hood.

Painted
* lower grills gloss black
* upper grill flat and gloss black
* chrome window trim and lower chrome strip gloss black
* tinted marker lights and taillights
* door handles gloss black
* tailpipes gloss black
* inside the headlights gloss black
* B wings gloss black

Wrapped hood with 3M Di-Noc Vinyl Brushed Aluminum, and you can even feel the brush marks. Amazing stuff!

We had the HRE's painted gloss black and sent a sample of the vinyl so they could match the lips to brushed aluminum hood.

RENNtech lowering mod.

If you followed the Continental SuperSports look it would looked much better, I like the grille and headlights not a fan of the tail lights nor the wheels.

Never been a fan of contrasting hoods. It looks sort of like a Chrysler 300C trying to look like a Bentley.

But in this case, it's more like a Bentley trying to look like a Chrysler.

The fake aluminum on the hood looks cheap, imo.

It was a little blan after blacking everything out so I went for the Drophead look and it added just enough contrast for me. I had already done the flat black down the middle so I wanted to do something I had not seen yet.

Not trying to bite a 300C, trying to bite a Drophead.....

Actually, it is a Bentley that looks like a Chrysler that is trying to look like a Bentley.

I think if you've kept it in stock it would look much better.

Wow what a car...

The hood is awful imo. It just look like well......not good. It completely destroys the car imo.

Rear brake disk looks very very tiny with those wheels.

Rest is cool

Thats your opinion, I disagree completely. The car looks great in person and gets nothing but compliments anywhere I go. The pics do not show the detail and it looks like silver vinyl, in person when you run your hand over it it feels and looks identical to brushed aluminum.

Do you guys that do not like it on this like it on the Drophead?
