I need to swap out my damaged stock hood soon and will either go cf or fiberglass, but the question is which one?
What do you guys think of the invader with my body kit? In any case the hood will be painted(probably like a red clear coat type of thing where you can still see that it's cf)

I'm trying to get it done mang, I swear. LOL I've been talking to Faith about it. With us only having the one car right now, I'm spending all my extra time sleeping.
I will do my best to get it boxed up and out next week.

my question is why does everyone like CF hoods sso much? i mean, just a question, because personally I have liked the Ferrari look, one piece, red candy cherry charmer type deal. the curves of a tiburon really show when it's one color. with it in CF, it just looks like the front of the car disappeared into some black hole... it just looks blank and square to me, like an empty place. sure if the car is black, and you have a CF hood it goes well, but the red is just good the way it is.
i have a CF hood on red, and really would like to see it in red for it to look like one complete piece of car instead of showing off some different parts "lookey at my CF hood" instead i would want to say, "look at my whole damn car as a whole and not just the hood and different parts!"
sure CF is different, but then you're playing the matching ball game. your rims would have to be darker, gunmetal or black to match the hood. your windows would have to be tinted... i'll post pics of my car so you can see what i mean.

Keith, get the CF one and do the red clearcoat, or do that PARTIAL paint that you've seen on some of the hoods, where there is just a V in the center of the hood of CF.
Ditto on what REDZ said I was thinking the same thing the red clearcoat would look good but I think if you could come up with a good design paint the cf that would look sweeeet!!!!
