I am all about saving weight and that is why a CF hood is for. The ricers leave them unpainted to show them off, which is ghey IMO. Get one, paint it and be happy you saved the weight.

I just say that it depends upon the one that you get. I have seen some ugly @$$ ones out there and then one's that make you say ,"Dang".

trying to be nice with the words here.

I like how they look on red, yellow or blue cars. It really depends on the quality if you have seen a very nice quality CF hood on a nice car it can be nice looking.

Doesn't adding the weight of the paint basically negate the entire reasoning behind saving weight? [&:]

I'm getting a stock style CF hood for the Civic and I'm leaving it how it came.
