I'm seeing carbon fiber hoods less and less. What's everbody's take?

 

it completely depends on how the car looks homie

 

Depends on the car. Some red cars look good with a cf hood, some look like ****. Same with other colors.

 

I have a stock teg. Hit a dear and left a couple small dents in the hood. Trying to decide on getting it fixed or just putting on a carbon fiber.

 

Car = Red

 

Get it fixed. CF hood on stock teg

 

Also = car is dropped on blades

"RichieRich" is played out

The term "______ is played out" is so ******' stupid...

 

GOOD ONE!

 

2k7ers are played out.

 

yeah well my old 05 account got hijacked, search the name RichieTN. asshat

 

How can function be "played out"?? I thought the term was function&gt;fashion

 

it can be played out when people only do it for cosmetics. i doubt there is anybody on here that has a cf hood that bought it to save those 4 lbs..

 

In a way it looks kinda sporty though with a carbon fiber. Also, between fixing the dents and having trying to blend Milano Red paint it could wind up being a mess with half the car being repainted. I could just slap a CF hood and be done with it. Or I could have it fixed. Keep the opinions coming Also, I really have no future plans for this car. Maybe an exhaust down the road.

 

honestly idk what to say on this one i guess the kind of car makes u think whether to put the carbon fiber hood on or not

 

paint the cf to match rest of car.

4lbs? Damn i wish i had your stock hood. Mine feels like your carrying a dozen cinderblocks. Maybe 15-20lbs or even more sounds correct??

Either way it does depend on the color and car

 

If I were to do it all over again...I would have skipped the CF hood and stayed stock.

Yeah...my cf hood only weighs 14 lbs. Stock is like 35 or something.

 

completely dependsw on the overall appearance of the car bro

 

on a red car, a cf hood stands up too much imo.

 

a camshaft is 300-500, a hood is 500... i can tell a lot about a person that rocks a cf hood with a 15 second b16 or b18
