ya. really wanted to use these orange ones I bought like 2 years ago. haha. Didn’t really look at it much tonight getting tired, glad I took to pics to think about it. The gold cadmium is not that dark, the orange it to much. ---

Close up it individually looks like shit. Far away and as a whole I think the look flows. ---

If the color was closer to the color of your hood, maybe. But it’s off just enough that it doesn’t match. ---

> [@Freek](#): > > Close up it individually looks like shit. Far away and as a whole I think the look flows. Kind of what I was thinking. Up close I’m like, not exact match…but from a far I think it looks good. It would probably grow on me and I’d probably use the orange to be a little different. ---

Yellow cad looks like yellow cad, not like you tried to match it. So that can go either way with me. The orange rivets look like you tried too hard personally. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-hood-not-sure-what-color/214423.md?page=2)
