Alright, my stocker hood is pretty chipped and instead of getting it repainted, im thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood. Its not rice, if you really think so then you are a fool because look what cars today have carbon fiber and where it originated from...Formula 1 racing almost 25 years ago. I think a carbon fiber hood would go well with my red&black theme i have going on with my car. Plus the weight savings would be nice too. Anyone know of any carbon fiber hoods that are not SS?

Re: Carbon Fiber Hood- yay or nay?
Definitely would look awesome here is one of my roadsters with carbon hood trunk and hardtop. Looks great with red.
All of it is oem vis racing. Great fitment
But they are probably all SSLast edited by ACiFiC; 04-14-2011, 10:03 AM.Wait, Is that a V6 or V8?

Re: Carbon Fiber Hood- yay or nay?
I think the carbon looks good if it is accented with something else. Definitely looks perfect on a red car.
I think just the hood would look a bit out of place. Why not a carbon SS hood? They look sweet!In America's Hat!

Re: Carbon Fiber Hood- yay or nay?
Unless you paint it red, it's rice. Looks goofy on an fbody. And Formula 1 cars don't have hoods, not to mention F1 and IndyCar use carbon fiber for strength as well as weight reduction. Personally, just doesn't belong on an fbody.1995 Pontiac Firebird

Re: Carbon Fiber Hood- yay or nay?
Maybe if you could find something with a mildly raised cowl and paint the hood body color, leaving the cowl carbon fiber. Or maybe the stripes as mentioned earlier, but a straight up carbon fiber hood to me looks like a mismatched junkyard part from anything other than 5-10 feet when you start to see the weave.

I agree withs Schlotzky. There's a Z28 that runs around here and he has a CF hood with a cowl and it looks good, not rice at all. Go for it mang.3M MAFIA
