Looking into carbon fiber hood.
I bought my car used and so the hood has some big scratches and some waves from people sitting on it. I'm looking into getting an OEM hood but not sure if its worth it, and if I should paint it or not.
I'm still debating on weather or not the carbon fiber looks good with the silver.
Should I, or no?

I will tell you this.
I had Carbon Fiber OEM hood with Silver Wheels With No Kit:
Then I put a lip kit on with the same setup and had this:
As of right now, i have gunmetal wheels, tint, and the same setup and i love this one the best.
IMO, its up to you and your choice, but i like the clean STOCK hood and my setup that i have now. But I dont know what your other plans are, sooooo, its up to you.
Hope this helps.

Rep Power: 359 why replace a stock part when you can replace with a better aftermarket one, lol, it will look great on your car, it will give it more contrast since you have gunmental wheels and everything

bout the hood, a store near me (Adrenaline) has a oem carbon hood that has a small scratch so they would sell it for cost-$400. I thought that was a rip off.
