you could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by putting your stock hood back on.

1) no more cracks.

2) aesthetic value will go back up.

Easy fix...get some fiberglass resin, fix cracks, sand, and paint match. The CF craze is officially over. It is now relegated to the same status as vinyl graphics, sponsor roll calls on your door under the mirror, and way oversized wings. Let the flames begin.

Boy you're right, i shouldn't do something to my car and keep it that way, cause i really care what "craze" is going around. Really...thanks, i don't know if I will ever be able to mod my car again without your help? I'm glad that there's people on here who know what is cool and make nothin but negative comments in every post they participate in.

thanks to the people who tried to help me out...

I know I'm not contributing to your thread since I'm not answering your question in any ways....

but doesn't it seem like some people think they're opinion should be HEARD by everyone. I guess some people are just a little too dogmatic.

maybe this works.
