I've been considering painting my hood for quite some time... it has several chips and nicks due to lots of construction trucks and salt trucks in my area.

But... The look of a CF hood on a black Civic is really starting to grow on me.

They don't chip, right? And it would be pretty much in the same ball park as a paint job, right? :rick: :rick: :rick: :rick: :rick:

 

no it would probably be more.. because you SHOULD clear coat the C/F hood after you get it

 

Okay.. so the price may be a little bit more... but would it nick and ding and all that?

CF cracks, correct?

 

I could go ghetto and get the CF vinyl. :loco:

 

:barf:

 

cf doesn't chip or nick too much. it can fade though. and it can crack, but you don't have to be overly careful. for some reason, people like to try to slam my hood down and mine hasn't cracked. makes me want to crack some heads though.

 

no... not unless you exert REDICULOUS force on it




no

 

If you buy a good carbon fiber hood it should come clear coated already. I have a VIS Grade A and love it, check out Seibon.com, they make really good hoods and the prices aernt to bad.

 

Fiber images are awesome. Anyone seen that vid of someone jumping up and down on it? It doesn't break or anything.

 

I've got a VIS too. I love it. So far so good too.
