i plan on painting it, but for now im gunna rock the cf look until i can afford it. its up there, but not on the top of my "to-do" list. its 100x better than the huge dent, so im content with this as of right now. i will get some better pics in later, i just threw this on less than an hour ago. tell me what you think.

i likes

see that's why having a black car really sucks sometimes. You can put on a CF hood and actually have people notice it LOL. Looks good man!

so you through it on and all the lines matched....lucky bastard lol

looks good though

good things worked out for you

Sexy. I say keep it un-painted though. Matches the headlights nicely. :twothumbs

MOAR!!!! looks sexy

thanks everyone, i really do appreciate it.

yea no kidding, first try haha. i honestly wasnt expecting that.

we'll see ;)

I want your rims and hood... lol

Looks great man.

looks awsome.. dont change anything!

I love the OEM cf hood!

thanks again everyone. at first i was insanely pissed at whatever douche bag hit me, but i guess they actually did me a favor(2months later). :lol:

loving it. did you have to get a new front bumper as well or was the last one salvagable?

i got really lucky and was very surprised, most of it came off when i washed it, and almost everything else buffed out.

dude. that just happened to me yesterday. some d bag hit me in the same spot and did the same damage (well a little less of the front bumper and none of my stock grill) but i wanted to upgrade to a CF hood so my question to you is....

1. where did you get it from? perhaps how much
2. what brand. heard pretty much everything but vis is crap.
and hows the weave and basic construction of the hood. iv heard a lot of stories from freinds who bought cf hoods and they got sent crappy fitting poo hoods.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

i love the car what kind of rims?

1)i ordered it from http://www.carbonfiberhoods.net. with shipping it was around $600, not bad considering insurance gave me nearly $2k, and i took care of the rest myself. i HIGHLY recommend calling before you order just to make sure they have it in stock. the first month i spent making an order, then calling/emailing me a week later saying its not in stock, then another week for my money back. exact same thing happened to me twice before i came up with the brilliant idea to call first :lol:

2)ViS is one of the only brand that makes them as far as i know. i heard a lot of good and bad about them, but my hood was flawless and fit like a champ. its only been 2 days and i couldnt even tell you how many random people have made compliments on it.


thank you, 18" Rial Nogaro's, more info is in my VBgarage

thanks for all your help
you car is exactly what i want mine to be like, with my own personal touches of course

cool your car looks nice love those kind of rims

^thats my hood, i didn really like the full cf hood. But i still wanted the cf look, just something to consider if ur gonna paint it.

not a problem, im glad i could inspire

thanks bro

yea that looks pretty nice, iv seen it done a few times before and iv actually thought about. but just my personal preference it would either be all or none. thanks a lot man

im jealous! i wanted to order a CF hood when after my deer damage...i just never actually did it.

looks really nice

yea, getting around to actually doing it is a big pain in the ass, dealing with all the BS.
