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?

if someone is good with photoshop heres a pic of my car:

 

get it and paint it white

 

Real Quick Photoshop.

 

does anyone think that CF makes the car look tacky?
I wanna hear peoples thoughts on it.
I just cant decide.

 

DO IT!

it LOOKS SICK!!!

 

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.

That actually looks really good.



If anyone else has actual pics of a white fc with a cf hood send it my way!

 

yes, looks mismatched. then looks worse when it gets all shitty from being in the sun

 

I don't like black or CF hoods on fc's, on some cars I really like it,...but not on fc's.

 

Don't do it! Keep it clean and slick. CF looks awful imo

 

Added poll! please vote.

 

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.

it looks great with the white.

 

sexy


but since your stock body, maybe needs a lip

 

If you had more black parts on the car, it would flow better.

I agree with Hypertek, needs a lip.

 

Here are a couple pics of mine with a black lip and spoiler, but needs to be lowered...

 

I dont like the CF on the stock body but, that white FC with the body kit looks HOT!

 

have fun with CF sun fade. <3 texas.

 

Leave it. IMO clean WHITE RX-7's are the nicest of all, especially the rarer S5 turbos (or one that looks like one). Leave it alone!

 

thanks for your imput guys. I think im gonna leave it. no CF for me.

 

^^^good call.

you can always get it, and paint it.

 

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)
