We want pics!Telling me you can't run out and snag a few pics while it is 4 degrees? Or you could just wait a few days... it will warm up. That's how Ohio works (If you don't like the weather now, just wait 10 minutes).

I like the 2-tone look, actually had the same thought for my 03 Satellite gt. Anyone want to trade their stock black hood for my stock silver one?

I don't care for two tone much unless there's some actual reason (like carbon fiber, but even that I prefer painted to match). It looks like you were in an accident and that was the only hood available. Maybe paint your rims black or something so it looks like you did that on purpose. But hey, if you like it like that, then that's really all that matters.

Ok, I've looked at your black hooded silver Vibe a couple of times on this thread, and I can say I like it. Guess it's a throw back to my early car drooling days, when I saw the original /development Ford GT40 with black hoods that supposedly cut down reflection. But my wife says the same thing that AKLGT does... 'looks like you forgot to paint it after an accident.' She doesn't even like carbon fiber! I don't get it.
