Why do you want a CF hood or hatch?

i'd say the hood would be much easier to install, a CF hatch would look retarded without a CF hood. btw you have to swap the glass from the onld one into it and worry about your rear wiper and wiring

it seems to me as though youd save more weight with a cf hatch and lexan window than you would save over a hood. If you just want it for looks go hood, they look badass.

i agree, if you get a cf hatch, you gotta have a cf hood too. you could do a cf hood with no cf hatch tho.... my $0.02
i have a buddy with both and it look real nice, except when you get up close, the fitment of the hatch is kinda off... maybe just the brand tho.


anyone know of quality CF parts that will fit really well? i would be interested in knowing too

Pros: lighter, looks good.

Cons: some hoods lose their luster finish, recommend hood pins.

For a good quality company there is always carbon creations, extreme dimensions are not bad but slight fitment issues.
