Carbon Fiber Hood/Trunk???

So I'm bored at work and want to be THAT guy....you know...the guy that posts a poll on what he should do to his car cuz he doesn't have an opinion of his own

Well here we go,

My car recently suffered through a hail storm with little to no cover so I now have a hail dent mod. The insurance wrote me a fat check to get it fixed. We'll say...3500 bucks. Well according to a PDR shop, they could knock it out for about 1000 bucks. My car only has dents on the hood and roof and like 2 or 3 on the trunk lid...MAYYYYBE a few small ones on the fender of one side.

On the other side of things, I kinda want to do something different with the money...aka carbon fiber hood and trunk...which i could pick up for 1000 shipped. then spend a few hundred more to PDR the roof and random fender dents.

My bugaboo is that im afraid the CF will clash with the overall scheme of the car...mainly i mean it wont look good with my wheels. I will also be getting some new headlights that are just painted stockers so that may help clean it up.

PS, if you have pics of SRTC with carbon fiber chit, post pics.....OR maybe somebody can do some photoshopping for MEEEEE ???

Please and Thanks

possibly! idk that lip just points upward too much for my liking. That and the cost is an issue. I basically have to spend under 1200 bucks on everything. Getting the Tjin would put me over that limit.

I was afraid it would point up too high when I saw the pics, but on the car it's really not. I was going to paint it red because there are a million red balts with CF trunks. The longer I keep it natural CF the more it grows on me though. You could do the same. Put them on, let it grow on you. PC the wheels if they don't work with the trunk/hood. I really like those wheels as they are though.

I can't make up my mind, so I think golf ball mod.
