Default carbon fiber or fiberglass?

I have no problem with fiberglass except its expensive as hell to work on at the body shop to smooth em out and make em look good. So I was thinking carbon fiber, a little more expensive, but no paint work. But I think carbon fiber is kinda ricerish, what do yall think? Or where to get a huge 4" cowl hood at.

i'd go with carbon fiber, but paint it so it doesn't have that CF look (Ricey) that you're talking about...

That is just awsome, a little bit of both. . . Carbon and paint looks amazing. I say go for Carbon fiber, 3-4" COWL should do you good.
