what do you guys think about putting a carbon fibr hood on a black car? pointless??

car is stock 94 civic hb cx black, not sure what the code number for the paint is. but im sure there are only one type of black for the civic hb ( don't quote me if im wrong)

 

get the cf hood, its half the weight of the stock hood it just wont be very visible but it does its purpose of being light weight.


I say get it

 

you are probably going to get flamed here on HT for wanting a carbon hood just for the look. Just giving you the heads up. I wouldnt do it unless you REALLY want it because carbon hoods tend to fade out.

 

whats with all these gay threads lately
no it wont do **** for your car unless you work your car

 

i bought my black si with a carbon fiber hood on it and i wasn't a big fan. yea, there light as hell, but if your looking for style points... then i'd keep it stock

 

IF U LIKE DO IT!

 

You cant see it at all. I say only do it if you run your car at the track and are looking to shave time off of your....time. Hmm that sounded werid lol.

 

what would matter if u could see it or not...unless ur just putting it on for "looks" rather then the fact that it weighs less then ur stock hood

 

i had a carbon fiber hood on my black coupe and honestly I like the stock hood better, so I put the carbon fiber hood on my race car. saved me a couple of lbs

 

just rock it, but cf hoods do suck ***.. i'd like to get rid of mine since its so damn faded. i was goin to slap on my stock hood, but damn is it heavy. so im stickin with the ugly cf hood for wieght purposes. Maybe ill save gas in the longgg run...

 

I Would rock it if i were you i mean its going on a black hb so therefore it'd be a nice match and it'd serve its purpose of being leight wait.

Do it

 

cf hoods are so 2006

 

idk if you can see it, but this is my car with a cf hood.

 

i personally would, i think its clean.. buy it, put it on and if you dont like the look just paint it black.. airbags car

 

^^^hot...

Anyone have some rough figures on how much an average CF hood actually weighs vs a stock hood? preferably for an EG so the OP can benefit from this thread instead of everyone just bashing him...

I think CF looks good, and I also think it is a good idea to save some LBS... and to all the peeps who say that you shouldnt do any given mod because its only for looks... thats just HT hater-ism AND irony at it finest.

 

CF hoods that aren't completely CF weigh like 20 lbs... your stock hood is like 50. Get the hood
