I know the whole carbon fiber hood thing is getting out of hand and they dont really noticibly change performance but I cant make up my mind to get one or not. Just hoping to get a second oppinion. Heres a few pics of the car.

 

for me, i would choose the carbon fiber, not because its jdm, but its because its what i like. i mean people can critisize me for this and that, but hey its my car not theres.

heres a picture to give u an idea, we already have the same rims, so maybe it can help u make ur mind up

 

you have a CF lip, might as well get the CF hood too

 

can u post more pics of the red hatch?im looking to get some new wheels for my car and i got a red eg, cant decide if i want bronze grids, your style grids, or just some gunmetal c8's

 

i vote no, because as you said, it wont change anything performance wise, and it will just look like you cant afford to have your hood painted.. u know those kids that drive around with primered body kits and ****? thats how CF hoods look..

 

I vote yes. Apparently you like the style cuz u got a carbon fiber lip. I suggest finish it out with a nice fitting carbon fiber hood.

 

i vote yes, carbon fiber lip...get the hood to match. it'll make your car match better. black rims, black lip, black hood...

I add to this plus they are junk quality in construction by all those Cali shops. They don't align like oem and flap around at high speed.

Not really carbon has a shine to it, unlike the dull primer. Depends on the clear coat of the hood. Again its mainly all up to UR type of style and prefrence its not up to us.

 

YES

I agree, and I think cf hoods look great on red cars

 

voted yes...the CF hood will really compliment your ride.
Make sure that you buy a QUALITY item and avoid poorly constructed pieces.

 

i would chop you a hoodbut no photochop on this gay *** comp.. sorry

 

get the cf hood

 

with or without, your ride will still look sweet

 

get the CF hood it will go nice on your ride, personally i have a CF hood that i planned on painting but after prepping a whole car and getting so sick of body work i decided to say **** it and just threw it on...

 

CF hood + rims + CF lip =

 

I would usually say no to carbon fiber hoods just cause the cost so damn much and dont do a whole lot but on your car I think it would look hot with that lip and rims.......

 

i think it would go good with your front lip...but it also looks good the way it is now.

Then what was the point of the lip? Just hurry up and buy it!!!!!!

 

your car will definitely stand out.

whether the attention will be from the right crowd or theives, you need to figure out which you want to deal with.

 

go for it. either way looks really nice.

 

defintely get a cf hood especially with that lip. I cf on red cars.

 

yes, it will match the color of your car nicely

yeah, but he was asking for opinions, and in my opinion, cf hoods kill the cars appearance.. as any mismatched body panel will.. just my 2 cents.
