Just to make your decision tough. I'm going to say go back to white! Or better yet.... paint your CF hood white! Yum

CF hoods are just for show, the minimal weight reduction is next to none comparatively. Stock looks way better.

word up Nick. They both look good bro, but without looks better. Sell your hood to George. It would look dope on his Si.

I can't believe you're asking if you should keep your carbon hood based on aesthetics.

What was your reason for buying the hood in the first place?

So are you saying someone can't buy a CF solely for cosmetics? Yes, some people actually like the look of carbon fiber.

If you bought the hood because you liked the look of it, why would you want to remove it?

More people need to spend more time driving their car then worrying about what it looks like.

More people need to quit telling others what they need to worry about.

If it's personal preference, then why bother asking? A lot of members here need to make their own decisions in life.

This attitude is what needs to stop on this board. Do you actually know the user who is posting this question? Do you know first hand that he has a hard time making decisions? I mean ****, haven't you ever done a cosmetic mod to your car and then asked a friend, what do you think? Or have you ever tried on a shirt at your local walmart( ) and then asked, what do you think? If so, then maybe you need to start learning how to form your own decisions.
