Carbon Fiber hood

Im trying to decide if I want to get a CF hood or not. I like carbon fiber, im just not sure if I like it on a red car or not.
Main reason why I ask is I have a few paint scratches on my hood (very minor) and one or two nicks that are also minor but still bug me. Any opinions on that? (if you want to see what my car looks like now, look in my sig)

I'd throw some dubs on there before the CF hood. but i do think CF hoods look nice on red. i wouldn't get one for my whip (it's EPB and its a sedan)

20" rims, but anything over 18" on civic's look goofy.

Dubs are a great idea for Civics.... if you don't like tires. (btw - dubs = 20 in rims if ya don't know)

I think a cf hood would look great on a red coupe. But its one of the last things I'd do. Coz a stock car looks bad if all it has is a cf hood. Definately do it, but only if you already have rims, drop, and maybe a kit.

CF hoods look great on red cars. And I have 19's and my car doesn't look goofy.

i think CF hood would look pretty on a red car... CF hoods look good on any color i think (well xcept a black one DUH) .. as long as you keep it clean...

Doh! lol I thought he was asking me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
Carbon Fiber looks good, but do they all have to have hood pins or is it just a precaution.
