And many more....

 

what about the one on ebay thats 100$ cheaper is it any good or no http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3A1%3A1v_home thanx

 

and when i get this should i get the hood clips or does that not look good not sure if i need them and is there a lot of work to install them. also can u wax the hood i should say does it need to be waxed? thanx

 

from what i have heard the ebay one is not the best of quality. also when you do get one i would strongly recommend hood pins. for the reason that the hood is very light compared to stock and after spending however much money you don't want it to fly up and break.

 

ok thanxs so how hard is it to install the pins thanx.

 

The OEM ViS CF hoods on Ebay are good. I've owned one. It's 318 for the hood + 150 for shipping...it's gonna cost you 468 at least. CF is expensive but makes the car look different.

 

Different in a good way

 

does anyone have pics of a cf hood on a black max?? please post if u do

 

I wish I had pics of my black car with a CF hood. They look freakin bomb.

 

hey i have a cf hood i want to trade for a stock black hood. the hood is pretty much perfect, i just need to get back to stock. let me know if you're interested.

 

here you go CF on blk. It's not OEM. for more pix check my cardomain.

 

What is the point of a CF hood? I understand that it weighs less than traditional sheet metal, but is 20-pounds worth $400 for parts and installation? There are better ways to utilize your money to make your car quicker…or am I missing the point here?
Thanks,

 

yeah FASST LN's got a good point...spend that 400$ on somthing thats worth it..but its all up to u

 

CF hood will not chip the paint like your stock hood will. I highly recomend VIS hoods, I have put alot of miles on mine- no hood pins or anything and everything is kosher. I haven't seen a single paint chip on my hood in the last 70K miles, plus it looks nice and weights around 12-15 lbs vs about 60lbs for the stock.

 

are you the same "The Kid" who asks the same kind of questions on the G35 forums?

 

you're right about no chips in paint, but you gotta worry about crack. I thought I was only one with the issue but I've seen 3 other org member with the same problem as me, when I go to meets pple comes up and say what happened here pointing at where it was started to crack. Also my color of CF faded, some pple think I got it done like that custom. Yes, i got VIS also but it's really crap....I would strongly not recommend anybody from getting CF hood. and about the weight No way in hell CF hood weighs 12-15LBs it's lighter than stock but not 12-15LBS. Soon as I find factory hood for reasonable price I'm jus gonna trash my CF hood.
