would wrapping an OEM hood with carbon fiber be considered rice? even though I dont really care for the "light weight" of it, and just like the styling?

i got a body kits nw hood and the quality is great! go to www.groupbuycenter.com and look for bodykits nw under vendors. it fits perfectly, and comes with the holes you need. very strong latch too. it doesnt shake or flap around like other hoods when going high speeds. it fits like OEM and is as tight if not tighter than OEM, so no need for pins. heres my hood:

Rep Power: 0 I hate the look of the cf hoods... it looks like you were in an accident and got a hood that doesn't match in color from the junk yard...
I understand if you're going for the weight difference though... but whatever, everyone's got their own taste. I'd get one with a scoop or vent at least, this way it doesn't just look like on OEM hood from the junk yard.
btw, do they make other cf parts? Can you for example get cf fenders and doors and what not, then you can make the whole car out of cf... lol. never mind, it probably wouldn't pass safty

wait, you hate the way CF looks, yet you want to put fenders, body kit, etc made out of cf on your car?
Don't be a hypocrite.
The answer to your question is yes, Fiber Images made a 7thgen that was total Carbon Fiber.
You can get all of those CF parts here:

Rep Power: 0 my friend has a VIS hood, the CF is flaking.
plus, i know the quality of VIS products. like the bodykits?....one in a dozen fits perfect, the rest have minor gaps, or huge defects...its a gamble.

Its not even all CF for the weight loss and he wants to charge that much for it? It only costs him $20 max to make that part. He would sell so much more if he lowered his price to something like $75.
