i believe u are talking about carbon fiber hoods...


it's a weight reduction... since most hoods are pretty heavy..
ie, prelude hoods...

however.. hoods like s2000, wrx, they are made from allumim
so no need....

Look, weight reduction, better engine compartment air circulation and it's stronger.

really
Does it look better with the carbon hood just black
for some i don't think it look good

Some people like it...

they're stronger but if they happen to break into pieces during an accident, whatever comes in contact with those fragments will look... dismembered.

i heard a story about this guy's shattered C/F hood cutting off his head in a frontal collision... scary.

I don't want to imagine... yuck...

You sure
is that a real CF hood?
beacuse real or good CF is suppose to bent and won't shatter
it is basically a cloth~
