Anyone got pics of this?

I was thinking about a carbon fiber hood for my car. it's a silver 96 civic. i'm just wondering how the carbon fiber would look. i have carbon fiber altezza's and carbon fiber headlights. so i was thinkin maybe carbon fiber m3 mirrors and then the hood. but i don't think it looks as clean as the silver hood. some opinions please, but i really need some pics!!! thanks!

You can get your carbon fiber hood but don't get the mirrors it would look odd.:)

A carbon fiber hood would look good ... Maybe even mirriors but it's what you like .. some people even go as far as carbon fiber fenders ...

Of course people who put that much carbon fiber on their car are probably trying to lighten it, not necessarily trying to make it look good.

Some people go for the look .. some people go for the purpose ...

true

Well i just want to lighten the hood up, i think the stock hood is wasted weighted. but i also want it to look tight! i don't know, i just kinda thought the black hood looked kinda odd... any alternatives?

yeah what he said

they have colored carbon fiber hoods now, maybe you can find a silver one.

DAMN! Sounds like you were describing my car there! Have any pics? I'll show you mine if you show me yours! haha

I'm gettin them developed and i'm gonna scan them by the end of the week. i'll email you some at the end of the week.

Are those the JDM Type-R seats? I love those Recaros!!

hey nice ride man... yeah now i don't really know what to do. well i think i'm gonna look into the colored carbon fiber cause i like the clean all silver look. does anyone have any experience or thoughts on the colored carbon fiber? silver color. thanks!!

I almost invented the carbon fiber/silver look back in late 1998 early 1999 :)

that civic that Hanguk posted is in the new SCC isnt it? yea, that started out as a DX and the owner pretty much transformed it into a Type R...its totally spoon. everything. its cool.

That's just the black carbon fiber, right? i'm just wondering is the colored carbon fiber is a little cleaner of a look.

I've got a some on my site - http://matc_civic.tripod.com

i don't know if i can't tell if there are painted carbon fiber hoods or if there just aren't any there. can you tell me which one it is??? thanks!!

I agree with this statement.

..I think the tails are kind of pushing it IMO, but I don't know anything :rolleyes:
