i live in ny and i want to put my cf on my new eg hatch im gettin tommarow and i was just wonderin if it will crack in the cold weather...or if its ok to put on...

 

The carbon fiber will hold up only as good as what grade it is. So an A grade CF hood will last a very long time and is more resistant to heat, cold, and uv then lesser grades. So if you got a good grade Carbon Fiber then I'd say put it on

 

Salty polluted ice on hood.
I would wait

ditto.

 

its so hard its a vis invader cf hood but i guess i can wait

 

If you already have just wait. If you put it on now it won't look so hot by summer, and then you'll be posting about what the best product to buff my carbon hood

 

Good point about the salt didn't think about that, i agree with them hold off

 

I've had my CF Hood on my Si for 4 or 5 years now. This winter doesn't count because it's a garage queen now, but nothing cracked as a result of the cold.

Last winter was pretty damn cold and it had no adverse effect. I think prolonged sun exposure without having it properly waxed is FAR more damaging.
