Carbon Fiber hood question
 

Hey guys, someone wants to sell me a CF hood OEM style for my honda civic 97. it's a VIS racing hood and it looks pretty nice

the only thing is that it has a ''star'' near the latch due to someone pushing it too hard to close it. It's about 1 inch big and doesn't appear THAT much

my question, does a CF hood loose a lot of value cause of that? I don't have any pictures.... but when something made out of CF is damaged, does it loose all it's value?

the guy wants 275$ canadian (which would be something like 230$ US)

any advice beside ''CF IS GAY'' and ----?

thanks

those things are 299 brand new from vis. and your paying 230 for it? man tell that guy since its fucked you'll give him 150US for it..

Re: Carbon Fiber hood question
 

299 that's in states

up here in canada we get fucked by the customs and shits... i'd say it's worth like 400$US

but your right that I shouldn't pay that much !

where the ---- can you get a CF hood for $300?? cheapest i've found at local shops is $500 for a VIS

Re: Carbon Fiber hood question
 

Drive to the states, buy one, put in on the car, drive back in O0 O0 O0

In my opinion they loose a lot of value with cracks because most of the times you can see them from far, they stand out of the pattern.

If it is not too bad, and you guys pay so much up there, then I would buy one.

In my USA state of mind, I would not. Ebay has them for cheap.
