Because they look good and are lighter.

Hey, and moogly, have you tried touch up paint? It doesn't look the best, but if you really take your time it can come out ok.

 

BTW: if you get a carbon fiber hood, make sure it has a metal latch. I know a guy at work who had a carbon fiber hood that had a plastic latch and it came up on the highway, flew off, and dented the top of his car.

 

+1 on the carbon fiber, in the mean time buff and touch up.

 

get a carbon fiber hood and a 1 foot clear bra strip on the hood to prevent chips from happaning, just go to any place that does window tinting.

 

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah I bought some paint from the dealer a while ago and tried to paint it myself but it looks absolutely terrible... I didnt know what I was supposed to do so I dabbed it on and then it went crazy... I kinda like the carbon fiber hood, I saw it on a blue civic coupe and I dont mind it much, actually. I talked to an autobody place and he will charge me a little more to repaint it than it would be to just buy a new cf hood so I might do it along with the rims and lowering.. does CF chip at all? For the trunk would I need a black spoiler? I already have a blue OEM one?

 

whats up man. don't get one of them 3m clear bras. it doesn't work. rocks eat through them like butter. i have a friend spend like $200 something to have them put on his car. rocks tore it up like it was scotch tape.

 

3m sucks ***** on any kind of film, its like paper, if you are going with a clear bra go with like suntek or johnson
