Well.. i drove my rat infested R down to the bodyshop today, after picking up a bumper yesterday...

he tells me the hood is so buckled, its not worth fixing.. he cant use that much clay on a hood, and if i slammed it down one day it would just be all fucked.


So... I can either pickup a used OEM hood for $100-150, it would cost me about 200-250 to paint it... so grand total of $400+..

OR, i can just get a CF hood for $300 and call it a day..

NOW, whats a PY ITR look like with a CF hood, YAY, or NAY??

2nd of all.. I plan to sell the car right after its all finished... will a CF hood be a plus, or a negative.. im sure its subjective, but i need some input here!

 

i'm gonna be a complete wanger and say i'd buy a carbon fibre hood and then paint it

 

since you are going to be selling it, an OEM hood will be best, esp. for re-sale.

people tend to like stock when buying used better IMHO

A bumblebee. I went with C/F when I needed a replacement hood, because it was slightly less expensive than a factory hood w/ paint, plus it saved around 15 lbs.

However, if you will be selling it after the repairs are made:
