WOW!
How does the hood stay closed now, the stock latch? If not, don't delay getting hood pins on, I've seen enough guys have their hoods fly open & smash the roof & windshield b/c people didn't install the pins yet.

Looks phat...I think it would look even better if you clear your headlights.

How hard was the install, I assume there were no major modifications that had to be done?

It is a carbon fiber hood which is lighter then the factory hood. In addition it is a black color rather then being the color of the car.

Definately a different look! I appreciate the weight savings but I would have to paint the hood to match the rest of the car! IMHO!

CF hood IMO only looks good on black cars. Any other colors it doesn't look that great. But it's a very nice novelty to have, definitely stands out from the crowd. Good job!

Why do people get hoods like this?

Is it just for looks becuase I find it kind of odd.

It saves a few pounds over the stock hood.

Why do people do anything to thier cars? To try to be different. I myself don't like the hood that much, but to each his own.

looks good....i was thinking of getting one as well but the shipping is a bit steep. Do you notice or feel any difference in handling, accelleration, etc...
