if you just want the CF look then get a fiberglass hood with carbon top layer and you will save money and not weight. or better yet just get the carbon fiber "look" decals and lay it over your stock hood.

that there is ricey and will cost more than just buying the hood. reminds me of those ebay parts that are painted to look carbon, looks like a checkard flag

And it doesn't make a ---- of difference anyway, because we're talking about a street car.

This man speaks the turth. The only way carbon fiber look's half way good on a car is if you paint it black/charcoal grey, wich no one ever does because they want it to stand out. It's your car so do what you like, but please don't post pic's when your done. Because you'll be no better than "cigrafax".

I personally like the way carbon accents certain colors. I plan on going a deep si blue type color with carbon fiber hood and trunk. I just like the way it looks, screw what everyone else thinks.

or maybe its a bandwaggon, because one guy is outspoken with hate the other must do so to be accepted on Hmt. no matter what it is, you dont have to wish for me to crash my car and die. thats just straight up jealousy.

I dont care what you guys think, I build my car for me. but I like to show off what I got also. so if you cant be nice ---- you!
you wish for me to crash my car and die. I am not even gonna belittle myself to wish you the same.
well said....




btw this is one of the stupidest posts i have ever seen. ----, look at it. you knew EXACTLY what was gonna happen before you even posted. yet you still posted anyway? and you made an appearance post with no pics? that is like a **** post with no ****...just doesnt make since. if you would have made this post when all the ---- was on your car, or *maybe* chillin in your house waiting to go on, it wouldnt be so bad...

HMT doesnt care about the outside of your car. i wont even bother to post pics of my car here, unless i was showing a new vehicle purchase and maybe not even then... its just not appreciated... not saying that i dont approve of your appearance mods, if i like that ---- i would look where it is appreciated... Honda-Tech Appearance forum...
