carbon fiber is better than fiberglass...
if you don't like the look, just get it painted

 

you have a cobalt ss hood. every cobalt has the same hood on them.

 

no he means the chevy ss hood..more so an aftermarket part.. but its got the same scoop like the camaro ss hood

 

so carbon fiber would be the best hood to get? painting it wouldnt be a problem?

 

you could paint it.... but why would you... you would be hiding the carbon fiber... if i had a carbon fiber hood, i might in the future, id leave it how it is..


but if u really want to paint it you could.

if u get one put it on ur car first then see if u like it lol

 

or just get this one:

thats why im askin if one is better than the other? i think ill go with fiberglass cause its cheaper and i wouldnt hide the carbon fiber.

yall think it will look good if i paint the scoop black and match the rest of the hood to my car?

 

either way you got to paint it if you want it color matched. the carbon fiber is going to be stronger and lighter. plus it wont spider web.

 

whats spider web??

spider webbing is what happens to a fiberglass product when put through the abuse of hot sun, vibration, and rocks. the fiberglass will crack very slightly, but enuff to ruin your day...and your paint job.

if i was you i would get the carbon, then if you want to paint it, then do the color matched paint on the sides and leave the carbon in the middle.

 

thats what i was just thinking. leave the scoop carbon and color match the rest of it.

 

Here's a couple pics of the fiberglass one color matched. Its the one from racing solution



Man these rims are popular!

 

hows the fiberglass treating you? any problems with it?

lol, these rims are popular. everyone has em now.

 

rksport has a ram air hood in both carbon fiber and fiberglass

 

I like the look of the SS hood better.

 

Everything is good except for one hairline fracture on the very front of the hood. but it was caused by me pushing down on it.

 

damn, how hard did you push?

 

again, personally i would go with the carbon hood.. its great with weather, sun, everything else.. just paint the hood according to your color and leave the scoop carbon.. it would look badass i promise.. but thats me personally.. if you get a fiberglass one you will be seeing alot of things you dont like in the next few years.. especially since you live in texas like me.. so, a word of advice.. carbon fiber all the way

 

Please, lower that Cobalt!

 

Color match fiberglass looks real good. I love that hood on the yellow car.

 

the salt over here by the gulf wont **** up the carbon fiber?

 

not any worse than it'd **** up the fiberglass
if you have the money/patience, go with the carbon..
looks better/lasts longer/weathers better/lighter/stronger.
