Thanks Well now what do you guys think??? Black will be carbon fiber. Looks a tad ghetto to me, but won't have to pay to get color matched

I think that looks like crap, cept maybe if it were carbon fiber, at least it would serve a purpose, though why not just get a fiberglass one? How much more do they weigh?

I think you save around 20lbs or so with a carbon fiber hood in place of a glass hood if im' not mistaken, but then again is 20lbs really worth the extra 300 or so bucks taht it would cost for a carbon fiber hood? and IMO it doesn't look all that great but it's your car, you got the cash then go for it

Well I figure a fibreglass is cheaper but then I gotta prep and paint it. Yeah more I look at it, it does look kinda crap......

i got an idea when i changed my front bumper. My spoiler is black and so is the nose now. I don't have any pictures, but it looks better than i thought it would. If the underside of the doors and the gfx were flat black too it would look really good. Like the two tone color schemes of the earlier birds and Camaros. I don't think it would look as good in actual black paint, because the bumper is flat black with no reflection. I would do this, but i'm getting the whole car painted soon with the nice bird on the hood I'm excited. Can u tell?
