I'm considering getting a Carbon Fiber Hood on my laser red b5. It's previous owner didn't have a garage so theres wear from the sun and i don't know if it's worth it to try repaint the hood and possibly have the color slightly off. It seems like a hard color to match well. So i'm thinkin about just sayin F it and buy a new carbon fiber hood. Anyone know any sites and what-not where i can find a good one??????

 

Id go with new if i were you

 

I don't see a carbon fiber hood on an Audi but mabie I might change my mind after seeing pics. Id stick with repainting it if you can match the color.

 

i think they look great... you can try ebay and like grounddynamics.com
places like that

 

i have one, its a V I S and u can see it in my sig but u cant really see it. i got mine at dtmautohaus.com

 

You think clear coating it would be nec.??? I'm sure its a smart thing to do either way, but does anyone know if it's def needed??

 

mine is not clearcoated, just wax it a few times a year and you will be fine.

 

ya, dont think you need to clear coat it... couldnt hurt.. but you def dont need to... listen to black... hes got one! lol

 

ibe3pac smaller sig please

and ya carbon hoods are nice, paint the sides would be nicer but eventually the CF will turn yellow

 

dunno fo sho but thats what the body shop told me, i wax and buffed it in the fall and it was like a mirror, but from more than a foot away most of the time u cant even tell its carbon fibre. its kinda dissapointing...i like to show it off
