Dood, a black carbon fiber hood on a white car, ROCKS! Buut, I really dont see any point (besides looks) on a already heavy vehicle.

Our factory hoods are light to begin with, aren't they?

They are lighter, compared to an 04. (dont quote me on that though).

Can you get those carbin fiber hoods painted? i always see them black and never matching the rest of the car. LOL Is that normal?

Looks different man. I can't say it looks good for my taste (reminds me of imports) but its not bad. Just need to balance out the exterior cosmetics now.

Do you feel a great diff in weight while driving?

I definetly felt a diff in weight when i lifted it up to put it on the car i would say a easy 7 or 8 pounds . it is carbin fiber with a fiberglass frame. but it is so light i have to put hood pins in.
