I don't know, but I don't understand the concept of a c/f hood. Can someone please fill me in on this? I mean to me, it looks like a car that was in the body shop for body work and got a new hood that hasn't been painted yet. I guess it's just not me. It's his car though. To each his own. I'm not knocking it, I just don't understand. Please don't flame me too bad. I just need an explanation. Maybe it would look better on a black car.

brand ?
weight of cf hood ?

best thing to do would be to have it painted and get black hood pins ! if i ever do a cf hood again, thats what i would do. nice modding though !

Jus curious, the white spots in this pic, are they in the clear coat or are was the hood dirty?



I think the true purpose of CF for the tuner market is mainly cosmetic.
In true racing applications CF is used for its strength and light wieght.
The CF items that are made available to us isnt strong at all.
Its just for cosmetic purpose only. If your looking for a lightweight item, and plan on painting it just go with fiberglass. Its cheaper and just as light.

i know a guy who drives a wrx w/ a carbon fiber hood. one day he was drivin on the highway when a cop just flew by him using the emergency lane and kicked up rocks everywhere on his car, especially his hood. he ended up chaisin the cop down to his house and demanded for repairs that were made by the rocks. the cop agreed to fix the damages done mostly to his hood cause its carbon fiber (were some chips and cracks)

Looks great, fitment looks spot on. If you add a CF lip to that, that will look amazing, especially with the gold emblem.

then rims and drop and that is one sexy ass max
