and why is it taking a "step back" ... if u r going to say something...say something that makes sense...and give a reasons...
I own a charcoal gray max and i feel it would go VERY well w/ my rim color and trim color and my limo tint and tinted tails...

1 layer will do
(after your sand off the clear and some of the paint off the hood)
Using a little bit of this

2 gallons should be good
Wet sand/Smooth
Then clear
Your done. Genuine carbon fiber ON your stock hood.
Cheap/quick/easy
I would like to see carbon fiber hoods with one vent in the center, and maybe small louvers on the sides.This would keep hood temperatures down. I think we have had some photoshopped hood ideas in another thread.
small vent though right?? not a plstic "VENT" u buy on ebay w/ 3m tape hahaha ROFL...
Yea, butseriosly i think it would look very sleek and clean...
LETS GET THIS ROLLING!

A lil off topic but Dues, you ever thought about paintng the extreme outside edge of your wheels red because right now they go black-red-black and that makes the wheels look a lil small, like 16s. Im a big fan of your whip but thats just my suggestion.

... i t will look sick! Since the stock hood is preety light i guess i would only be doing this mod for Show not go....
I mean even if it weighs up to ten lbs more than stock.. that 10 lbs wont really make a difference in power etc...
Just like the looks of REAL carbon fiber and think it would really do a lot for the car...
