Sorry I couldnt find anypics, but picture your hood being black but alittle lighter(CF MATERIAL)!!! But of course you need to do some suspension work, because you cant just throw a CF hood on, you need a theme.......but I say it would look GREAT once dropped. I call the Black and White the "PANDA THEME"

the problem with CF hood is of course fitment, it just looks silly on the edges where it meets the fenders, it rarely sits flush with it.
unless you get hood pins to press it down, which you should anyway unless you want your hood flying up when you hit a bump going 70.
then you lose the flushness of the sleek TL unless you shell out 100 bucks for the aerocatch hoodpins
i havent done anything to my CF hood so it looks floppy and scares me when i drive fast lol

Nice chops. ATLP boy can you do one with just the outsides cf and middle white?
I was thinking about gettinga hood and painting over it...but not sure if it's worth it to spend so much on it. I want to know the weight of the stock one vs carbon fiber.
