If you painted it black a lot of people would call you a ricer =X but then again a cf hatch does cost about 5-6bills. It's up to you

you should...do what you think looks best.

obviously you're just going for looks..you'll probably end up buying a cf trunk anyway so just get the hood and leave the trunk for now until you save up for it.

Well, what do YOU like? Do you think it looks good based on pictures you've seen?

Personally, I wouldn't do anything to my trunk area AND hood unless I was really trying to spend money and make my car look good (above and beyond the normal aesthetics). I'd spend more money on go-fast parts instead. A CF hood/trunk, IMO doesn't really do anything. Sure, you save a few pounds, but in the end, the better driver/faster car will always be faster when you're working with negligible weight differences.

Carbon fiber hood?.................sure, as long as you keep the stock hood for that "just incase" time
Carbon fiber trunk?................personally, never! But if you have the loot for it, and you like it, why not?!

Too much carbon fiber starts to make me
Thats just my opinion though.

(dont paint it black)

Personally I would leave it alone. Silver is hot! I'd put my money into other stuff,
like a kick *** stereo system, a good alarm system, autolock, performance, maybe better tires if you don't have them already etc. Just my opinion.

Personally i dont like carbon fiber at all. Make sure to get a good alarm, its always a good investment.

I think that unless you're trying to save weight, you shouldn't get carbon fiber.

-Kendall, who has lots of carbon fiber

Exactly. I've always looked upon carbon fiber pieces being something that is function over looks. If you're going for styling, theres money better spent on something else.
