Default Carbon Fiber hood or not?

I am having second thoughts about the C/F thing. It doesn't exactly lend itself to the stock/"sleeper" look I was going for. I like it, but it's only ~ 20lbs lighter than my stocker, and I know you can' treally tell, but the C/F has some trouble spots including a big hickey right between the washer nozzles. I was gonna cut it out and put a grill there or something. I think the red one look clean too. Damn, I dunno. I'm conflicted. I could sell it and use the money getting my kit together.


Arrrggg!! Help a brotha out.

I have this thing for a car being all one color. So, taking that into consideration, I guess I'm biased towards the stocker.

I to have asked myself this very question a few times, and the answer is keep it! not everybody has one, it looks good on your car and would look even better with a lip kit added without looking a lot different than stock, with just a bit more of an aggressive stance which is good.

If you think that so will all the other haters and wanna bes....
I personally hate any attention on my ride, from cops, kids, ricers, racers, etc....the only attention they need is me pulling away.

if you want the c/f hood for it being lighter then the stock hood then just paint the c/f hood

i like the cf hood but i like stock too you could paint the cf hood but that defeats the purpose of having a cf hood but it would give it a sleeper look
