RE: Carbon Fiber Hood
Well I am not a fan of the CF hoods because they never seem to hold up. There are other things to think about as well.....
1) They are not just a bolt in you have to dick with them quite a bit to get them to fit right.
2) Thay need to be shot with CC. Like any body part you need a few coats. I would say a few because it is the hood (chips, heat) but most of all CF hoods like to fade and the CC will help protect it.
3) I would install a new heat shield (under liner) to help keep engine heat from killing your new hood.
Hope this helps............
