why does everyone get cf hoods all of a sudden? It's like a plague, but good.

for 300, take it. It's a steal.

Depends.

IMHO, *mostly* for looks (slight functional gain with lighter weight).

If that's the look you want (psuedo-JDM, Tuner), go for it. They do look good on some colors (WDP, Silver). And, IMHO, would look good on your KBP.

But I think you've gotta follow through on the color theme with Black/Hyper-Black rims and accents.

Peter,

Save your money. The Carbon Fiber hoods look OK if you mod your car with other carbon fiber trimmings. Then you're talking about hard to find accessories and cheesy looking stuff.

It's $300 PLUS $200 shipping = $500

^ still a good deal IMO
I'm kinda curious to see it on a KBP. In my head, it only looks good with maybe a dark tint and black rims, as bearcat said. Photoshop, anyone?

Unless you are in Canada already, shipping could be an issue. I have an EXTRA $90 tacked onto a large item (Home Theater projection motorized screen) when it went through customs. Nothing was said on the order and shipping it back would have been even MORE costly. Just make certain you know who pays for it clearing customs (i.e. not you)
