Carbon Fiber Hoods

[S-Power]

Anyone running carbon fiber hood?

Know the weight difference between OEM and Aftermarket ?

I have seen some nice hoods available for our cars anyone running these ?

[Jung]

they actually dont weigh a WHOLE lot less. cant say im a huge fan of any of those.. too much going on, definitely a little bit ricey with dual air inlets and ridges and such.

None of those look good imo, if you're going with a CF hood, I would just stick with the simple OEM design, ie no vents, grills, etc...

Vorsteiner, who the hell wouldn't want one, BTW NACCA ducts are very functional reguardless of their riceness... although I do agree with you on the seperation between rice and class, and one last thing, what the hell kind of hood is that first one???? it might as well not be installed on a car.

There was a local S4 that had that hood.

WAY over the top.

What happens if you get caught in the rain?

I have an oem style vis hood. fitment is perfect, there are some pics of my car if you look at me "threads started". I beleive I've seen you post in the norcal forum, maybe you can see it if there's a meet next time.

the first hood on there is a seibon caron design hood, they have that one and the oem one.

The stock hood is alot heavier then the cf ones, try taking out your hood shock and see. Fiber images is one of the best IMO i got a good deal on a vented one and love it.. But i do need to create some sort of a plug incase it rains really hard.

Make sure you get it in silver

Anyways all these vented and grilled cf hoods do look a bit ricey... I prefer something that resembles the stock hood but cf.

I would rock a CSL style cf hood if they made one:

Yeah, my brother has a e46 m3 and those Vorsteiner m3 hoods are sickkkkkkkk as hell

I would like something very similiar to that on my S.

I considered this one for a while:



Decided against it for now until I see it on another car, painted. Plus, I'd rather not have to rock hood pins on my car.
