Rep Power: 248 I don't think it's really a 'bad' idea per se, it's more of a cosmetic thing. The only thing you'll really have to consider is, will you like the look of it on your car? CF looks pretty damn cool, and is lightweight (but I don't think that's the main reason you'd get it).. so it's really up to you.

Rep Power: 0 I'm debating on that too but I need to replace my hood. I am going for the carbon fiber look b/c it not too much more than a stock hood but your car looks good so I say use that money for a system, or engine parts.

Rep Power: 341 the carbon fiber hoods for our cars arent real carbon fiber in the sense that its entirely carbon fiber. it is more lightweight than a stock hood, but its not that light. its just a carbon fiber overlay. real carbon fiber costs MUCH more.

Rep Power: 312 ok. nice look under the hood btw. um...carbon fiber hoods are like 14 pounds. stock hoods are like 40. its a weight reduction choice. if your doing it just to look good i guess it would be good for both reasons. but it will make the crap 25 pounds lighter. that is alot
