Default Carbon fiber hood for a black car.

Its a for a Berlina black 5th gen Accord. Whats your call?

Im worried with the modified CF hood. It rains a lot in our place but they say that water goes to the rad and there seems to be no prob. But it sure looks nice for me.

turbo style carbon fiber hood:

Im really thinking of geting OEM, but i prefer a carbon kevlar look which is just so butt expensive.

The yellowish weave makes it stand out in black.

My inspiration?

Again, its not that im trying to get the colors straight for posing. haha! Point is, if ill just get a carbon hood, then I prefer it to be something that looks good as well.

If you're going to get a new hood, I'd suggest you paint it. This goes along with any other body panel weight reduction.
