I think it's only "ricey" if you have a CF hood and your car is still a slow piece of crap because you're just fakin the funk. A CF hood is a "performance" mod, and any nutcase who buys one just for the sole purpose that it's CF and loox cool is a complete ass..................IMO

I'd paint a real carbon fiber hood in a second. If there were a HUGE weight difference, I'd buy one and paint it to match the rest of the car..... B)

Because a black hood on any other color of car is mother bunnyin ugly

^^Actually, I beg to differ. With CF having that black/gray-ish look to it, on a black car, it would almost seem as though the hood was ashy. And even though you'll know it's a CF hood, it'd still look off-color. In fact, a black car is the only color that i would say that you "should" paint the hood to match. But take a CF hood with a red or white car, some carbon or gunmetal shoes, and dark tint, you got yourself a nice looking car.

^ I wasn't meaning to imply that a CF hood looks good unpainted on a black car, but just that if you take a hood of a black car and stick it on any other color it looks like crap. Just as CF being a different color than the rest of your car (even if its black) looks like you are piecing together a car out of the junkyard.

^^I got what you're saying now, and i've actually seen some jackasses with black hoods on their car. Ugliest crap ever. But i guess we're just of two different minds on the CF hood. Carbon fiber makes a statement all it's own. And I'm not talking about guys who buy it to dress up their engine bays and interior. To me, putting CF hood on a barely modded car is an like ahoe who has "Turbo-kazoo" exhaust tips when they're engine is NA. Like i said uptop, a CF hood is a performance mod, that's why i wouldn't even consider getting one until my car was truly race worthy. Then I would get a CF hood AND a spoiler in keeping with my car's true purpose, and if a chump thinks i'm flossin my CF just to be flossin, then i'll be more than happy to prove them wrong.

Carbon Fiber Hoods are a privilege, not a right

^Lol.. yeah, I saw a white lude here with a painted black hood. Looked sooo ghey.

I think it was Yiddishbbq though that had a CF hood that was colour matched to his ruby red car, but it was transparent so you could still see the fibres. I really liked the look of his, and would deffinately go for something like that.

Yeah, I am not sure if I would paint mine. I think it would look good on a silver car unpainted

[fusion]

Well, it all depends on the person rite?
Some will use it to lighten, some will do it for show.
In any event, they are a car enthusiast :thumbsup:
