a carbon fiber hood isn't that expensive when you consider it is already finished. i have a grand in my hood after paint and everything.

I like em, i think certain colors can pull em off, especially black.

Is that generally the opinion of most?

edit, woah way to bring a thread back from the dead lol... it looks like that website is going out of bussiness and everything is on sale, cf hoods cost 280 gt style!!!!!

I think this was the first thead I started on SVTP.

I would rock an unpainted carbon fiber hood on a black car in a heart beat.

Does anyone know if they make any other carbon fiber style hoods for our cars? I would like to get an 00 cobra R style cowl...that way I don't have to worry about painting it and I get to save weight as well!

My crap doesn't fit under my stock hood anymore..

At least you dont have to spend any $$$ on paint! Just bolt up and go!

I can have someone paint a hood for stupid cheap...but you are correct...that is a plus that I wouldn't have to worry about it, especially on my black car.

I also would have to invest in some hood pins for that though.

this summer maybeee :rolling:

like i said, i spent a grand on my hood with paint so that $700 isn't that bad and a cf hood would look great on a black car imo but not so much on my white car.

I think it looks badass, if it was a 'functional' sorta deal. If your car was more of a race car with other weight reduction mods..

My friend has a mach 1 with a carbon fiber hood and trunk lid and you won't catch me or anyone making fun of his car or calling it 'rice'
