I'd sell it before it gets too bad, and then get a quality OEM style CF hood.

Then why would you get carbon fiber? There isn't an immense weight difference.

I wouldn't buy it unless the stock got damaged. Looks to ricey, especially on a red car. Maybe on black. maybe.

Might be worth a shot... If it dosnt work out, just have it sprayed to match your car...

I'm not a big fan of any hood but the OEM ones. With red cars I'd keep the hood red, I don't think carbon fiber goes well with red. I'd paint it, but that's just me.

And yes...definitely get rid of those headlights.
