Default Carbon fiber hoods

What your views on carbon fiber hoods? I got a silver civic with gunmetal rims. I think it would look tight but my friends tell me no

why dont you get what you like?

when you get tired of whatever you buy, it wont be that other people got tired of it, it is because you got tired of it.

the only opinion that matters in the end, is YOURS

I have a cf hood on my bluish silver sedan. Looks very very good, but I have bronze wheels, not gun metal.

Which company makes good cheap strong carbon fiber hoods. I need one for my car, the hoods got a lil damage, it was there when I bought it tho, just a few dings, but enough to make me want to replace it. Are they all strong, or is it just a few, cause this is gonna be my daily no telling what might happen.

they look really clean on silver cars. make sure you get a good one though. fiber images look really good, make sure you get it with uv coating.

It does make you go faster, it makes our fwd heavy cars handle better in turns and a lil in the straights IMO

This guy asked for our opinion on how it would look...Do you really think he gives a **** if his car runs a 16.54 instead of a 16.56.

Charlie-who was dumb enough to dump money on a CF hood way back when
