i dont really like unpainted hoods, "carbon fiber" or not... is ay nay, keep the clean one color look. carbon fiber hoods for our cars is just for looks

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.

:tup:

i think it looks nice on white, silver, and black cars, im gettin one soon, it looks REALLY hot on white cars though

FALKEN 06-20-2005 04:05 PM

stay stock

sokmaster 06-20-2005 04:08 PM

i think it would look pimpin. i think it looks best on white

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.

i think keep it stock.. unless you want to do street racing or something

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.

fer sheezy, my neezy

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

Teh_Sare 06-20-2005 05:12 PM

i don't mind CF hoods but i think white vics look so good with stock hoods. im jealous of everyone with a white 'vic.

matt_s 06-20-2005 10:37 PM

i have a silver vic and am planning to get a carbon fiber hood... im not really a fan of them on a black civ cause imo its not as noticeable.. but still looks good either way.. i would do the cf on ur whip!!!

BeLowMe 06-20-2005 11:04 PM
