Buy a lot of fake CF stickers like the rest of the ricers.


spend the money on an alum hood and buy yourself another upgrade with the money left over.

You want the look eh? get an aluminum hood and have it carbon fibre wrapped, prolly the same price. But seriously, most carbon fibre hoods look like crap on cars. Get the aluminum TII hood and u'll look a lot faster and have a slightly cooler engine over a cf hood.

Hey CAMRANN you should probably email Dave at fc3s.org any way I know they had them for sell not to long ago and probably still have some, They make about the best carbon fiber products as you can get so it is worth a try if you are serious

I dont like the idea of any body panel being aluminum, when it dents, and it will, it doesn't retain the same amount of "memory" that steel does, CF well, Cf cracks but it taeks a bit more than hail or rocks to crack it (depending on size blah blah blah) i like CF hoods, but to me CF only compliments black cars, so painted fiberglass would tickle my fancy

i dunno...those CF hoods maintaing perfect shape after being run over by trucks seemed pretty impressive to me. I wouldn't mind getting one of those someday.

I wouldn't mind having a CF hood for mine. My car is close to being black, Midnight blue, but it somewhat looks like black when you're not close to it.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY???

Most of these hoods are like around the $500 range.
Are you willing to pay that kinda money?

A lot of people ASK for products like that, but when it comes time to cough up the cash, VERY few do...
