Poll.....To CF or not!

[darin1274]

Ok.....the hood on my car is dented and needs to be replaced. I have either the option for a Seibon/VIS carbon hood or just run with the factory hood. It will be replaced via insurance so I'm not too sure which cost more (OEM or CF)

I'm on the fence about the CF hoods since most people think they are ricey. If I put on the CF hood I'm not going to paint it.

Let me know what u guys think and if you have a CF hood on your car, feel free to post some pics! LOL

TIA!
Darin

BTW- my car is Ocean Blue and the roof and mirror caps will be painted black and the 19" RS6 wheels will be powder coated black as well.

[Sharkfin]

I voted "do it", post pics of your car tho

Old pic before switching rears to 19x9's and S-line door blades


keep in mind, the front bumper is going to be replaced w/ an S-line bumper, Depo Black projectors, 19's p-coated black, blk roof and mirror caps...

Just remember that when you sell the car you will have a CF hood, also if you want a gauge look at Ih8OEM's car which is OB with CF hood too

DO IT!!!
PS - i just moved to maricopa, PM me if there are ever any meets in the area!!!

Keep the carbon subtle and it's your friend.

A carbon hood is trashy unless you're still in highschool.

LOL....thats the thing I was afraid of. I didnt want the car to look like some NOPI shit!

[D.C. Designs]

do it just bc it will go with the black and blue theme :)

[Bigswede]

Do it but paint it so the carbon only shows in the middle crease ;-)
Good luck

[Allan T]

Go for it :)

I say go for it. You can always paint it if you don't like the look and it's lighter.

dude, dont listen to the flamers out there... CF looks hot on the B7s especially when you do what Bigswede said and paint part of the hood. it will look especially hot when you have a darker colored car (like yours)

i would get it, and paint the sides...

[elwigglero]

I'd say go for the cf, but only if you were going to paint it.

[gaede]

I'm going to sell mine but it's already painted DG

[viperdsa]

Why are you going to sell it?
As for the OP looks at Ih8OEM's new pics.

[LampyB]

why not get it painted? an unpainted CF hood is tacky, but a good paint job can make it look hot as hell.

[Alky]

The poll results makes me think that I'm at honda-tech.

[Alky]

Whoever you are, Mr. Anonymous, if you're going to leave me negative feedback for an opinion, please make an attempt not to sound like one of those rude-honda-tech-12-year-olds. It's mildly pathetic.

[bsrpilot44]

I <3 CF.

Do it

[VMRSport]

Painted cf = ballin!

[gaede]

Why are you going to sell it?

Parting out and selling, new car time
