Man...too many CF haters out there (not directed at mytek). I'm not sure if I would do it my car, but I think CF hoods can look good on ANY color car...it just depends on how you fit it into your color scheme...

I think AE lights look good on their own...maybe you can do an HID bixenon retrofit into them?
The stock grille looks fine too, although there's an aftermarket one for 00-01's I really like (I think it's the streetscenes??

Which one are you thinking of getting? The invader or the stock replica? I'm seriously considering putting vader on my glacier pearl, which I think would look nice with blacked out headlight housing. But I'm afraid that instead of a clean look I'll get a junkyard wannabe.

why are you getting a new paint job chris??? By the way, if you get carbon fiber hood, you should get some AE headlights, which I can convert yours to AE headlights, it takes a few hours though.. Also you need to buy some mod's first, and quite making your max look more aggressive...

Don't worry frost I got the Berk intake on and the warpspeed y pipe and hopefully the b pipe will be on this weekend.
also, sterling mist goes very well with carbon fiber hoods... just a little tip.

My friend is getting one on his talon and he said it will save around 30lbs....on a max though I don't know how much but I think it is around 25-30lbs
BTW Chris your max is tight

i say go for it too, im actually saving for one myself
i know someone was working on a group deal for it, not sure if it ever went through or not, but it was for around 400 shipped, was pretty good.
maybe we can get another one started
