A cf hood on the right car looks sweet as hell. A cf hood on a ford festiva= dork. A cf hood on a black skyline=sweetness from the gods. It all has to do with the car its going on. I have a extreem gt vis cf hood on my black civic but will probably not put one on our yellow mp5. I'm not too keen on the oem hood look for a cf hood unless the car is black. It looks like you can't afford to paint your hood. The vented hoods are good for performance by decreasing the engine temp and creating drag to push the car down as it moves.
Will a CF hood ruin my subtle look?

Hmmm...so many replies.
dominoy2k1, I'm not too big of a fan of the postert kit. I actually like the mintblue front now also, but I already have a front which would go to waste.
Yeah, I know its a carbon fiber hood, it is awesome. But like there are lot of things that look awesome but I wouldn't necessarily want to put on my car.
Hey Evade, could you post a picture of your car with the hood?
Roywhitep5, yeah I really would like to lower my car, but having the parents here, and since they bought my car, they specifically asked me not to lower my car at all. (My brother did it to his car and they did not like that at all.)
Dlovtsur, I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel that way too. I see lots of people trying to pull fake carbon fiber looks.
mazdaspeedpower, I would go down the performance upgrade lane, but if I do all that then my dad is going to think I'm doing it just to race or some bs like that. (I have very difficult parents with wild imaginations.) I was actually close to getting some rims but...I feel that if I get rims I need to lower my car as well. Since no lowering can be done then rims are unnecessary.
loccusst, I don't understand why you would paint your cf hood?

I was talking about if you have a oem looking cf hood on any other color of car it looks like when people are replacing parts on their car and can't afford to paint the part. The only way I would paint a cf hood is for a sleeper look or if you were doing some wild show car design. Other than that I like the look of cf since it is natural looking.

I agree. $500 for a mod that makes your car look worse and does essentially nothing. I'd look at suspension, wheels, or anything that actually makes the car better.

CF look good on most colors. I just don't like the look or me. I'm painting mine white in the spring.
Oh you got one Brian? Hmm yeah now that I think about it, I don't want it anymore. Probably look into some performance options. Really want to do the suspension BUT the parents said specifically that I cannot drop my car whatsoever... unless I can come up with a really good convincing argument...any ideas?

What the hell is that all about. I don't have one yet, I'm in Bosnia and I'm thinking that in the spring I will get an extractor hood for the heat. Because I don't really like the look of a black hood on a white car I was thinking about painting it.
Please tell me you were joking or explain what I have done to you in my past life.
