I have a few pictures someone else took this weekend of my car with the carbon fiber hood on. I have some better ones at my house, but I can't upload them, plus I have new rims coming, so I will get new pictures up in a couple weeks.

What do you think? I'm still torn if I like it or not.





if the pictures don't work, let me know.

looks good, you should cut out the black plastic piece in the bumper.

I thought about it, but that is a brand new bumper and I didn't want to potentially ruin it by cutting into it.

Oh yeah, and i have hood locks rather than hood pins, but they are not installed since i wasn't sure I was going to keep the hood. And I'm not sure how the locks will look either, I'm thinking about buying pins.

This is what I have

I have sparco hood pins they look pimp

HAHN Stage 1 \ Greddy Power Extreme 2.5'' Catback

so do you plan on removing your latch if you are gong to use those hood locks??

What I did was used regular hood pins and then also used the stock latch. But the kicker was that I installed a silenoid to pop the stock latch. At first it was just a hidden switch to pop it then I hooked it up to an aux in my alarm. So i would go to the front of the car and undo the pins and then hit the hidden switch and presto...my hood poped open.

Just think that with the hood locks if you want to keep your car running and pop the hood you will have to keep them on a seperate key ring.

you can get the exact same hood locks but that have a real carbon fiber piece in place of the big silver disk. they look much better than those are going to. I had those on my CF hood and they look like big nipples on your hood. The CF ones blend soo much better. THe key part is still silver, but the rest of the locks are carbon fiber.

I don't like it. But I think it's because I love sleepers and your car looked stock. Not now...

In my opinion, I think your car looks better with the stock hood. I would sell the CF hood and invest in something else. Just my honest opinion, but you car looks good other than that. What rims did you choose?

I think it looks like crap. you need to take that hood off and give it to me.

Actually, I really liek it. CF is a close color match to yoru car so it really doesn't kill the sleeper look.

"Can't we all just hit a Bong"?

theres another idea you could do too thats if you got the hood for umm the weight factor which is possible but you could just get it painted. just my .02 cents

yeah you could paint it. but if you got the black cyphers, i would definately keep it. i think it looks really good with the gunmetal.

DAMN, EVERYBODY'S GETTING THE CYPHERS, I WANT THE CYPHERS lol.

i like it.

I think if he was trying to acheive the sleeper look he would try and hide the fmic with some black mesh or something. I think the fmic would give away more then the cf hood. The hood looks close to the factory hood that if you were rolling next to him you really wouldn't be able to tell unless you looked really closely. Plus if its night time, there is no way you could tell.

I love the hood man!

you could also paint the fmic black as well...if you do it the right way to not clog the fins. just like at all the shows manufactuers intercoolers have there logo painted on the front like blitz,sparco, ect. Oh and forgot to say I liked the car either way.

I think the cf hood looks freaking dope.

I say keep it on

Interesting... second person from 2GNT to move to Phoenix who doesn't get together with az2gnt... Oh well. At least you have a 4G63.

I have more pics, but they are all a little blurry, I have all my old wheels in bags in the front and back seats, which looks shitty, and my car is dirty.

There will be some awesome pictures taken this weekend.

Be patient my son.

How much lighter is the cf hood over stock? If anything, if you dont like the look, keep the cf hood and paint it to match the car. Dropping weight is a big plus!!! Im a little biased over CF, my whole front clip on the Evo is carbon fiber.
