chrome or chrome looking plastic signifies the designer's attempt to make the car look more upscale or luxurious, whereas exposed carbon fiber looks racy. just my $0.02

Mine.


Actually, I've been looking around lately for a WRX-style hood scoop. :chuckles:

Yeah, I replaced mine a few months ago, it definitely isn't only a pound. It is light though as is.

I agree, I don't remember seeing any openings on the wheel well in the engine bay which would allow the hot air to escape. Im not saying it's air tight in there, but it sure isn't designed for this function.

damn, easy there. His car was modded like a mofo, recaros, AEM big brake kit, alot of electronic gadgets inside, the carbon fiber stuff(of course) he had probably the most modded accord there. Im not diggin' the rims or the fenders, but I appreciate all the time, work and money that he put in his ride.
