I had a carbon fiber grille once, made my car look funky in the front. That was even with the other VIS evo hood I had. The stock one makes it look less bulky.
Opinions on a Carbon Fiber Look..

With all do respect...forget the hood and put that money towards getting the car running right first.

And with respect, I have enough money to do both.. because I'm not paying someone labor to tell me they can't figure out what's wrong with it. (poke) It's what I want to do, and I don't need someone's opinion on what I should and shouldn't do and when I should do it with MY OWN car. I asked for opinions on the CF idea, not on what I need to do first, second, and third involving my car and where to put my money. I'm not paying anyone to fix my car unless I absolutely have to.

I like the look of the painted sides, makes it blend in better with the car.. and you have less of an area to worry about fading

Your right, I'm wrong. I hope the CF helps you achieve your goal. Goodluck!

Wow, and for $99.. geez, that's good. There are a few companies that I'm still looking at, although I wish that Xcelerated would make an Evo style hood.. I'm just wanting one with the vents toward the center like that.. the other hoods don't look like they would allow that much air flow.
With all due Respect..It was you just months ago trying to sell your car, move, and Saying how you really didnt have the money you need to do what you wanted.
Did you hit the lottery recently..or just contradictring yourself.
And I know people like to get others opinions..but if you had an Idea...and you wanted to be original and your own person...you should do it...Then see what people say....Not the other way around.
Just sayin.

I've already moved, that was in October.. I was saying that I don't care about opinions on what I should use my money on. I have a budget with how I spend my money, the more I save, the more I have to put toward different things in the future. I recently sold my truck, so yeah, a small amount of money to put aside toward my car. I asked for thoughts on the carbon fiber idea to get opinions, since I wanted them on that. I never asked for opinions on what I should spend my money on. I know now from getting opinions that I'm not going with the cf trunk, so little things like that is what I gain from it, I learn more, and that's what I'd rather do even if I never had the money to pursue my plans. At this point my main priority is getting the car completely drivable again, and then worry about appearance stuff later in a few months. I enjoy learning more, which I've taught myself all I know about car stuff from here and getting opinions. Sure, I could just go off and carbon fiber the heck out of my car, and then end up not liking it because I could have gained more ideas from the opinions I could have received on here. But anyway, yeah. I'd rather get opinions than go out and do what I want and be too close-minded to ask others for help and just b**** about people's decisions. I'm naturally indecisive, so God knows it takes me forever to decide on something anyway. It will probably take me two months to decide on the carbon fiber hood that I'll buy eventually.. and by that time I'll have enough money saved up to get the one I really want. NEVER did I say WHEN I was planning on completing this project.
And obviously I didn't try too hard to sell it, didn't reduce the price, didn't bump the hell out of the thread, just let it sit there for the option. I had the chance to sell but backed out. I've done so much to it, how the hell can I part with something that has given me so much joy and hell at the same time? Love hate, but mostly love
LOL. I wouldn't want any other car, because I'd miss this one too much and I wouldn't know where to start on a different car since all I know has been with this one. Obviously I saved and got all I wanted for my car, our budget is perfectly fine, and "my" money goes toward whatever I want it to. The way my husband's and my budget works, we pay bills, and whatever is left in our pockets we keep and use how we want. This is my hobby, I love to work on my car, of course I would love it more if it ran right, but I'm enjoying learning all I can nonetheless.

Just note, CF can look dark gray from further away. I say that you want a show car than do it up right.
