Rep Power: 321

My car was recently in a wreck. Trying to come out in somewhat of a positive situation, I wanna get some new parts for my car when I fix it. Basically the whole front end must be replaced soo heres my list so far.

-Tsunami Front Bumper (Because I dont think I can get the whole SVE Imageworks kit I want yet because of the money im going to have to spend on a lawyer...)
-TYC Silver Projectors
-Altezza Grill (or whatever its called)

And now for my question, lol. I dont really want a carbon fiber hood but do I have any other options for a nice hood besides OEM? Im not really into anything flashy or anything but would like some ideas. THANKS

Your choices for an aftermarket hoot are cf oem, cf invader (the big scoop,) and cf/fg invader. That's it.

If it is being fixed through insurance dont count on getting aftermarket parts unless you go to a small shop and there chill with it. If your fixin it yourself you got a nice list going. Good luck with the car

Check out samari's car. He's got a cf hood, but the sides of it are matched to the rest of the car so you don't get such a drastic appearance.

Whats a good c/f hood that fits well at a good price? Where can I order from?

I really like Samari's hood and how its painted on the sides only leaving the raised part carbon fiber.

Thanks!

ended up ordering a VIS OEM c/f hood locally from a shop. Was $350 plus $70 shipping, so $420 total. Pretty good price I thought.

And im painting the sides like Samari. Thanks for yall help!!

You can get the whole thing painted. ANd it will look like a stock hood, until you open the hood and see that its black on the underside. But, anyways, pics when finished.

i got my CF hood from aerotrends.com
i personally think they are the best out there. and recomend them to everyone.
it was 400 bucks. oem style. cf over fiberglass.
everything fit perfectly, and its held up under some pretty stressful situations too.

pics of my car...
