Carbon fiber hood? Or No?

here's the thing. I am looking to keep my car as clean as possible. It's not going to be a show car, more of a street "clean" car. Another option if I went cf would be to paint it all white. Only because I am not looking for cf for looks mainly for weight. (That's gonna get me flamed.)

Also, if there are any white civic's with a OEM carbon fiber hood. Post your pic!

NO
Get a front lip, sideskirts, and rear, I think it will be better $$$ spent as opposed to CF hood

Paint your door handles and mirror first, before you go to the hood.

It's real clean the way it is right now...

I'd only get a Carbon Fiber hood if I did some serious mods to my car and raced it a lot, but that's just me
