Opinions on this hood on my car...

i dont think a decal/scheme like that woudl look right on a CF hood. only on a stock hood... or you could get a CF hood and paint the sides to match the car adn leave a CF section that shape in teh middle....?

If I get a carbon hood, there's not going to be ANY painting except for maybe flat clear...if I wanted to paint something, I'd get my AAR hood done, but I'd rather paint my stock hood cuz there's not a lot of work to paint it.

i have seen a flat CF hood.. it looked liek shit.... but that's just my $0.02

I've seen a flat clearcoated one also...it was on the Sport Compact Car Mag's SRT-4 that they did the AAR theme to as well...

Yes...

But I understand why you would want to get away from paint, but this is a hot look... The challenger with the carbon and painted hood proved that!

I don't deny that it would look good...and I might possibly do that someday...just not right away. I can't spend a shit-load of money this year...at least not on the hood itself.

i bet if you had that desing cut into vinyl, it wouldnt cost much at all.

and as for that flat SRT hood, thats hot, i guess the one i saw was just crappy.

i would love to see a a first gen bubble style on a second gen. if you do the CF trunk are you going to paint it except for the back? (i hope that made sense)

Go OEM style carbon, with the old school theme.

Paint (i don't care if you don't want to paint, do it anyways) the outer parts of the hood, and leave the inner shape CF. That is going to be your BEST option, hands down.

yes, i like it. it fits great, only problem i have w/ mine is either a cat got all over it or someone keyed it and my gelcoat/clear is scratched.

NiteHawk · Post by **NiteHawk** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 6:00 pm

how deep? scratches can be fixed?

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 7:04 pm

very deep, almost to the fibers.

its been recleared...the shop i use said that he couldnt sand them out they are so deep. Im thinking im going to have them sand it down as far as possible and paint it gloss black one day. but probably not. its not that noticeable from a distance. ill snap a pic when i get my camera back from best buy.

Stock sucks........

I can't keep my mouth shut.

Anyway, here's a few pics of my hood for you so you can try to chop it, I've also included a shot of it from just a few weeks ago so you can see what kind of shape it's in....

Jusyt tried to get you all the different angles I have like you asked. Hope they help you out!!

Heres a pic that I took most recently like you asked for so you could decide if you still want it when I'm ready to sell next month.

Most recent....

I think OEM looks the best for what you're going after...
