Will a CF hood ruin my subtle look?

[jdm_mp5]

I have a DGM Carbon Fiber Front Air Dam as of yet. I'm thinking about getting the VIS CF OEM hood.

if you leave it unpainted...yes it will. unless your car is black.

jdm eh? oem would look nice. invader style would be nuts though i say keep the DGM though, not many people have that hood vs oem cf - chris

I've always been partial to white 5s with cf hoods. It helps that this is my old car.

Hmmm thanks everyone for your input. I definitely agree.I guess I'll blow my money on something else...hmmm...???

turbo?

 

[jdm_mp5]

Hahaha...I have the money but don't think I wish to spend it all on that. I enjoy going slow.

your subtle look won't be ruin unless you want your car to be a true sleeper, which means you gonna have a shock and awe amount of hp and tq.

 

[jdm_mp5]

Well, I'm not really going for the "true sleeper." I just want my car to look nice without anything wild or extreme going on. I don't want my car to look like it's trying so hard. I'd consider the HP and TQ but my parents would not like that.

 

[dominoy2k1]

hmm how about getting a postert kit, that would be so freaking pimp

 

[redfyre]

It doesn't matter, it's a CF hood! It will look awesome!

 

[dominoy2k1]

now that i think about it, it will match your cf lip.....

well i just got my c/f hood today!! VIS oem for $500 at a local shop here at Hawaii. i got got white pro5 too and it looks like pro5mans old car with the auto exe grill and gunmetal rims! it a sweet way to do black and white style (Panda) JDM look.

the only thing i notice with the VIS hood is on the driver side not being flush to good, sticks up a little. even my friend is like that. but in all its a good deal for the hood.

eibach prokit+ tokico hp struts are a good appearance mod and an awsome preformance mod

Every time I see a car with a CF hood it reminds me of someone who just picked up a hood at the junkyard and can't afford to get it painted. I think they look horrible IMO.

i think cf hoods look awesome, especially on white cars. How much do you have to spend? I'd get standard upgrades(like essential). Exhaust, intake, headers, suspension, rims, intake manifold, throttle body, bigger injectors, upgrade your ignition system, etc. Don't aks me where to get these things, I have no clue, just know that they are out there,

check essentialspeed.com for the intake manifold and throttle body.
