I actually have one being painted before I install it so it's not all black.
Not sure how it would look on the white, but on the blue it's hot. I've also seen them on a silver CL with Anthracite rims... looked hot as well.
I got mine used, so can't be of too much help as to where to get one. BTW, i hope you're using the TL for a show car... otherwise it's not a good idea. If I wasn't using my car to promote the business at shows.... I'd NEVER get a CF hood.

Thanks
Tahnks for all the otehr replies. YES I am using it for a CAR SHOW. Not a Daily Drive. I een thought about the verticle doors that was posted a while back and got BURNED to hell and back. YES ITS GONNA BE A SHOW CAR! So that is why I need a CF hood. THere was a cmment taht its played out. YEa I feel you on that but Not many TL has it so I want one to be DIFFERENT. Damn It seems its likea crime to be different on this forum or sumthing. You want CF. <-- "your dumb and its riced out." "Get a damn civic then" You want this and that<-- its ugly. Dman people Lighten up man. Help people do what then want to their car. So people who knows where, LEt me know. Still in the market For the hood

ok azn g ryde, i'mma give u a more constructive way of criticism, the hood isn't rice, it juss doesn't flow as well with white, i seen it on other car it didn't look too good, but if ur goin to put it on for show go ahead bro, like i said in the other thread, u can do whaever u want and i mite not like it but it's still ur car, but if u do do it, talk to fiber image from the link above, oe tuning isn't bad but i just heard it cracks easily so i dun suggest u spend so much money on a hood and it cracks on u....if ur not puttin hood pins on i think it won't look as bad, i just really dun see hood pins on our four door cars that's more luxury...but dun get mad, everyone will have opinions, that's why it's a forum, we all will state our opinions, but it doesn't mean we're gonna tell u not to do wha u wanna do...oh and i agree wit the civic thing u said, most of my friends have civics and very jdm tuned civics, all with rare parts that gets alot of respect in the scene...so nuttin wrong with civics...

Just becasue it a carbon fiber hood and just becasue to all yall think that it might looks Riced out or whatevers Dont matter to me. I just wnat to know where I can want. So why sepnt then $6000 on a supercharger on the TLS why not jsut buy a better car for the money. YOu see me going down your throat about been Riced out? NO Why dont people on this forum jsut answer the DAMN question rather giving people opinions that others really dont give a rats ass about. yeah Its an open forum. I understand but I want to know where I can get one so If anyone who has any info LET ME kNOW. I am not interested on what you think. I like it and I think its gonna look hot.

I can think about repainting my car to a different color to make it look nicer instead of white. See this is the opnions I need to make my care better and more presentable for show. Other than bashin the CF all at once. Yeah the reason why I say dont talk down to civic is becasue yeah it is a cheap car but has a lot of potentail. Speed wise, you can make that thing move so fast all the TLS can do is stare at the back bumper. But as for luxurious reason, I have to say, it is not the best looking or best accessoried cars. I guess jsut how you see a car and what perspective you take from.
i didn't mean to bump heads wit u intentionally, i juss dun like having my opinions stripped from me, but if u wanna see how a tl looks wit the hood, check out acurainspired.com vtectltypes, he had the aegean blue tl with the hood and it looked nice, or stanman who had the hood tinted blue, so it was blue carbon fiber to match the blue, i like the way it looks wit aegean blue, or black, i was thinkin bout the hood b4 since my car was black, but for the theme of VIP style cars, i decided not to and stay full luxury...but i will also be opening my own jdm parts distribution site soon, so let mek now if u need parts cuz i'm opening accoutns wit aj-racing possibly and kiyoshis.com

Azn G Ryde:
If you get the CF hood, it is highly recommended that you get hood pins. Don't care what other people say that hood pins look out of place or ugly, it's a matter of safety. I've heard horror stories about cars with CF hoods in frontal collisions. The hood pins are put there for a purpose. IMHO, hood pins are not an option, it's a must have.

AZN G RYDE just do what you want to your TL man, with the cf hood i also have the oe tuning one and mines has little cracks but i have also contacted fiber image a while ago and they said they werent gonna make a hood. but you can always custom make one, its also good to see a TL member doing something different instead of looking like everyone else, i've been though lots of flaming already so i would know how you feel. just keep us update with your car. good luck.

U SHOULDA BOUGHT A CIVIC RIGHT!!!...A CF HOOD IS TABOO TO THE O BLESSED TL. Lighten up u f'ing pansy's, the TL isn't an LS430 or an E500, a CF hood is nothing to bitch at someone about saying they "shoulda bought a civic". There are people who buy the TL b/c its a nice affordable luxury car and there are those who buy it b/c they see its potential as a stylish and awesome sports sedan.

:argue: This is funny. I think you guys have your panties tied to tight, it was meant to be a joke. Don't take stuff so seriously.
Oh, you should have bought a Civic
