Default I'm getting a carbon fiber hood and would like opinions.
Hey guys. I'm gonna order a carbon fiber hood for my white 95 coupe. I have a completely stock exterior with the exception of painted moldings, handles, mirrors and a carbon fiber front lip. I'm considering either of the hoods Vis offers for my car, stock style hood or the "xtreme" hood.

Would this hood ruin my otherwise sleeper look, or be just enough to make people wonder whats inside?



The stock style:

I say stick with the stock style. It will fit the lines of the car better.

I don't like that scoop on top. Go OEM Style or Check out our C-style Scoop.
