so what do i find when i get home from work today? My hood and finally my gtspec braces, well i need to put them next to my frontmount and pray for time to do the installs. I was going to paing the hood lazer blue but now i am thinking of leaving it alone. what do you guys think any lazerblue msps with carbon hoods?

 

[SoniCraze]

NICE man, that hood would look really good on blue if you had the sides painted to match and left the center black.

I'd leave it black.. should look pretty sweet.

I say paint the hood.. but thats just me. I would love to see that hood in blue, w/ vents left black.

fmic/and braces look sweet. Have fun installing.

I also vote for painting the hood, but it depends on what look you are going for. Which FMIC is that?

(cool) for people who paint their CF hoods...

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

I personally think painting it would make it look soo much cooler...however, leave a little unpainted, to show you got CF, like Mazdaspeed or something...paint some of it atleast

 

[Moeed]

you bought a cf hood for a reason. Leave it unpainted.

I bought a carbon fiber hood for a reason that reason is it is light and vented to let hot air out on the track not so people would know it was carbon fiber, no one makes an alluminium hood for us with vents.

where did ya get it bill?! Im considering buying a VIS but im weighing it against the FI and WW versions. Just wondering cuz i wanna know how much you paid including shipping. Cheapest i have found including shipping is like 500ish.

I agree. The hood should serve some type of purpose, otherwise you can spend the money on some other performance part.

Not to threadjack, but how much weight do you save with a CF hood?
