pic request: white fc w/ carbon hood
Like the title says, i'm thinking about getting a CF hood i just want to see how it would look first. I dont want anything to outrageous. Just a CF hood that looks like the TII hood. So, anyone got any pics?

I've seen the carbon fiber TII hoods in person and they don't look too tacky. Plus you have an S5 body conversion so it'll add to the aggressiveness of your car I would think.

Dont do it. Your car is clean the way it is. Maybe if you had a black car with more carbon external accessories it might work. Now with a white car, it will be way too much of a contrast. Whats worse than that: Making your car look like it was built 5 years ago, when that style was acceptable and everyone was painting their car nissan burnt orange. Its a trendy time machine mod, instantly dating your car. Not that i wouldnt want to date your car. I actually find it quite attractive and would gladly pay for its dinner at applebee's, making a point to be both charming and humorous the entire time.

I'm not a fan of carbon fiber hoods. Almost went with one when I had my TII swap done but decided to go with an OEM TII hood. I talked to a few body shops and from their experience they all agreed that carbon fiber and aftermarket body panels never fit quite right. Though I have no experience with them other than what one shop could show me of a riced-out Civic they had in the shop.
I'm glad I went with an OEM hood cause this last spring I ended up being able to buy a forum member's MS hood scoop. This winter the car will get paint, a new top, etc. (we'll see how much fun the finances can provide)
