Should i get a carbon fiber hood for my car?
Well , you guys have all seen my car, what do you guys think about a carbon fiber hood on there? or should i just keep going with the all-white theme, and leave it off?

no, but in all honesty, I think you should remove the white badges, it'd give the car a much cleaner look. I think your car looks clean, a CF hood would take it away from that IMO

I'll tell you, I love everything else on your car. EVERYTHING
except for those :ghey: ricer badges, they really need to go!
the car would look 110% better w/o them. What cars do you usually see those things on? 16 year old girls civics to match their clear taillights

Well, they ll be gone within 2 mos or so, my car is going to the bodyshop, and its gonna be shaved all around. So i ll have a totally clean trunk. As for the front grille, i'm gonna buy a new one from Acura and have the OEM "A" on the front only. Or maybe might do a kind of custom job with a 97 grille, get it painted to match also, havent made up my mind yet.

Personally, i like em. They go nice with the car i think. I dont like the ones that are purple and blue and light up at night, all that crazy shit. I saw the red ones on killers car and those looked hot on there also, it looked right with the red Type-S badge, IMHO.

Go with a custom grille like mine. It makes the front of the car look much more sleek and clean. Plus, nobody has them on their car. BTW, i love your car, it looks great

Eric.. whats the look you want?!
If you are going for a clean all whited out look... THEN NO!!!!
I went from all white (rims and all) toa TUNER look with anthracite wheels so the CF HOOD accents nice!!! If thats what you want then YES!!!!
THe hood quality is a C grade though... might not be worth it... I am trying to rid mine now because my car is stock looking but in summer I still have anthracite wheels... my intentions are to custom paint the hood so its white with accents to pick up color of the wheels...
Check my pics...
