Default is it worth it to get a carbon fiber trunk and hood?

im having a debate with myself about either finishing up my turbo project on my 95 civic or getting a carbon fiber trunk and hood first because my trunk is rusting and my hood has dents on it from pressing it down. what do you guys think?

ricer like looks
racers respect speed

if you car looks hella nice and has no heat, like about over %50 of the cars on ht, its just nice looking but slow, i know tons of people who do that. But it just depends on the person you are
show and go
Go and no show
all show

Boost the bitch you'll get more fun out of it. You can always get a hood and trunk later.

What's wrong with getting a stock hood or trunklid and having it painted? It would cost a lot less than buying some poorly made carbon products and having them painted. Not to mention OEM **** will fit way better.

Unless you're a ******** ricer that thinks unpainted carbon is cool, then get the parts that are actually worth the money for the turbo...

Pimp: If you had a set of nuts hanging on a wall would those be walnuts?
Boomer: Yes Daddy.
Pimp: That's right. And if you had a set of nuts laying on your chest would those be chest nuts?
Boomer: Yes Daddy.
Pimp: That's right. And if you had a set of nuts under your chin would those be chin nuts?
Boomer: Yes Daddy.
Pimp: Wrong bitch! You would have a dick in yo mouth!
