CF Hood Poll (noob photoshop inside)

[ghx407]

After a small incident at yesterday's Track Day, my hood now has a permanent brown mark on it.

Would you paint over it or replace the hood with a carbon fiber piece???

[ca18donny]

Dose yor hood have any damage on it?if it is just a mark onthe hood then I would just repaint it.If it is all dented up then I would replace it.IMO

[S14toRPS13]

I think the current theme looks better and cleaner.

[str33tprintz]

repaint it your car is gorgeous with the painted hood. Or you could do both which is what I wanna do. (get a cf hood and paint it

pics of the damage probably would help a lil

[wishin_on_an_sr]

all white looks cleaner IMO, i think the cf hood looks like a** on most cars but to each his own.

[DrJuice164]

Or save some money and get a fiberglass hood and paint that.

[MastaYu]

re paint the hood

[mRodiek]

Your car looks amazing, get CF and paint it white to match the car thats what I am doin currently.

[SolaraOnBronze]

If you are at all picky about body panel fitment, do not get a cf hood- from my experience anyway. The body is too clean how it is, I say stick with the stock hood!

[slidestyle69]

dont get the cf hood. be smart and buy a lightweight flywheel or something like that. the end result would be much larger

[bigred240sx]

either way you do it would look good to me. your white looks amazing and so does a cf hood on certain colors and this is one of those certain colors.

[Frank E Bones]

Even though I have a CF hood myself, I say stick with the stock hood.CF Hood- for the reduced weigth, for the fitment.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Clean car dude. Leave a white hood on. Lower it some more and she'll look great!

100% right.. fitment sucks so you get a racer look but loose fit and finish. which is what i think makes a car.

[ViolentRunning13]

Shark suit material for the win.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

^ Don't listen to that ricer.

[sr20power]

I hate unpainted hoods...even if it is CF. So I guess my opinion is just paint what you have...

[tx240s14]

whats up with the stop sign?

[ViolentRunning13]

He lives in Puerto Rico you ignorant.

[ghx407]

Thanks for the input guys, repainted hood it is.

pics of the damage probably would help a lil

I don't have pics of the damage, but basically the turbo burnt through my old-arse turbo blanket. Eventually the underhood insulation above the turbo caught a small fire, resulting in a brown spot on the top of the hood. The spot is slightly smaller than a laptop. The texture of the paint is fine. Yay...

damn whats with the hostility.. i was just asking cuz i've seen spanish stop signs and they say "ALTO"...

[Amtk240]

I would just keep what you have and get it repaired and repainted. It will save you much needed money for future plans and you don't need frustration from fitment issues with a CF hood. Just my opinion with less headaches.

BTW, Puerto Rico is a beautiful island with a lot of bonuses!

[sr20hype]

the cf would look really nice. you should do it.

[TheRealNap0le0n]

your welcome

[Dittoz7]

Mad Dino Drift?

Keep It White.

[TheRealNap0le0n]

cat duck gives not a f***

[Ghast]

You will not like what heat does to CF. Stick to your OEM hood and repaint.

[Nismo2007]

cf looks great, just make sure you get the hood clear coated and it will last without fade

[ghx407]

i couldn't stand the look of your photoshop soooo....
