stock is good

 

wat happen to the cf hood? still looking good mang.

 

The stock one looks so much better. :thumbup:

 

But that stock hood is just so much heavier!






Just kidding.... :dunno:

 

sitting in the garage. I'm trying to sell it, but everyone in this city is lowballers or has the 99-00 front end. I figure I'll hold on to it in case I get bored with it how it is.

on a side note, door handles, side molding, and rear plate garnish are probably next for paint.


btw, the hood+paint cost me $150 :rick:

 

I really need to get mine painted again. Hell it wouldn't hurt to get my whole car painted.

 

why not get ut CF hood painted to match ur car then it would look stock and not be as heavy. Or drill out some the skeleton out of the stock hood to make it lighter

 

That would weaken the structure of the hood...so if he were in a wreck (God forbid)...it was just cave in and cause the other car/object to just pass through it and probably hurt him.



But your car looks good man, keep up the good work.

 

shit, those stock hoods cave in real easily without the missing stucture. carbon fiber isn't much better in accident situations.

truth be told, carbon fiber doesn't last in the elements well. and the hood wasn't very smooth, nor did it line up as well as an OEM hood.

besides, I'm up what, 15-20lbs? :reechy:

thanks for the good words guys :thumbup: and to think a year ago I'd never paint the black trim look what a hookup will do to change an opinion :chuckles:

 

hahah, yeah boyyyss, nice to see you're gonna paint all the trim. man it'll look tight. sittin sidewayyss, whaat.
