Are carbon fiber hoods worth the money Aprrox. $500. They look awesome, especially on pearl white ludes.....lol, but how much weight do you save/performance increase and is it worth the hassle of storing your stock hood?

 

$500? What kind of hood?

Make sure you don't get it off eBay

VIS and Seibon are around $300-$400

 

There is no performance gain other than saving about 50lbs or so. If you think that's worth it, as well as for style then go for it. I say EBAY hoods are fine. I got my for 350 shipped to my door prompty and almost a perfect fit, nothing I can't fix and still no problems what so ever other than it fading which all CF will do.

 

got my seibon hood for 280. it was used for a week then owner decided to sell it.

If you know where you can get them for 300-400 let me know but thats generally the price range that I see online.

 

i agree, I havent seen carbon fiber hoods in the $300-400 range for more than a year. Someone let me know where I can get a hood for that, and I'll buy today!

 

I've got a friend who can get them wholesale, like $150-200 for VIS grade A. But he can't get one for me, kinda sucks

If you have the money and want awesome looks, definitely pick up a CF hood, maybe even a trunk, eyelids, spoiler, roof spoiler, door handles, etc Nah just kidding, the hood would look awesome on a white prelude.

 

carbon fiber is so light.

i got mine for free.
