HTC painted nacelles and roof?

[Climber17]

Trying to decide if HTC looks better with painted nacelle and/or roof versus unpainted. Give me your opinions please. Sebring Orange HTC.

Tough choice and 2 people will have 2 different views so it's really up to you. I agonized over the decision and finally went with the "stock" version, thinking I could wrap it in future if changed my mind. Remember that black will better show the dust/dirt and tinted side windows can give any cop an excuse to pull you over.

Another view to consider is with the top down and how it looks with or without the painted roof/nacelles. Just to add to your misery. LOL

Ha ha that is exactly what I am doing agonizing over painted or non painted nacelles/roof. I thought the same thing that I could just wrap them if I really wanted that look. Seems to be a somewhat more aggressive look with them painted black. I also agonized over the 2LT package after having a 1LT. My wife would definitely benefit from the 2 LT for the blind spot monitoring and front camera but my bank account wouldn't benefit from the extra $10K cost.

Totally a personal call. I also went back and forth and ended up going with the blacktop, but that was to create more contrast with the silver flare. It really will be your call. I also went with the black mirrors and spoiler (Z51 option, not high wing). I will hopefully be able to post real-life photos by the end of April. Note I also went with Bright Red-painted callipers, even though some of the pics don't show them. I was also back and forth on that option.

I went with both in body colour

Biased...

 

[CamsC8]

Even more biased! The biggest thing for me is having the A Pillars and Nacelles Blk. Love it.

 

[Climber17]

Anybody just paint the nacelles and not the roof? Pictures please?

 

[raycer]

I would definately get the nacelles black or maybe both in that colour. There is a kelly blue book review on youtube that is torch red with just the nacelles black. Looks good both ways. Without the black nacelles the car seems to have two much red on the back. Other colours look great without the black. It's a tough choice.

If you want it to look disjointed like a Saturn, then go ahead and paint them.
IMO of course. I never liked the Saturn with it's floating roof and could never figure out why the early 4th gen Camaro Z28's had black mirrors when the fender design flowed into the mirror.

I’d go black roof and nacelles

 

[Murray20c8]

The one thing I'd add is you can always get them wrapped in black, but it would be hard to match the cars colour with a wrap.

For Orange, carbon flash top and black wheels is the only way to go! Black interior with orange seatbelts + orange calipers (aftermarket paint or wrap)

Carbon Flash painted nacelles and roof look wicked nice to me!

 

[Climber17]

I went with the black nacelles and roof. Thanks to everyone for their input.

Congrats on the decision

I struggled with the decision too. Both look great but ended up with both roof and nacelles painted. The car is torch red and all accents in Carbon flash including MRR wheels. My car is being built next week. Can’t wait to see it live soon.

Congrats on the decision

The best part is that in the photo it looks like there is a steering wheel lock on the steering wheel. Who the hell is going to steal that car lol?

Black roof and nacelles for the win....
