Carbon Fiber Hoods for Mustang

[Future303]

Sorry to bring up this thread, but I had a question regarding Carbon Fiber Hoods. I was told by someone that they are extremely unsafe, because in an accident they will go right thru the passenger cabin, slicing the passengers in half (as opposed to the factory hood which will crumble when hit)

Any opinions?

i think they're ugly, and will never use them unpainted, so i dont' care.

i would be interesed in one. I would deffinatly paint it though. i was looking around anyone see cf fenders and quater panels that would be a good way to lightin the car up.

I have a 93 Cobra black that I just put a carbon fiber hood on. Everyone likes it. I left it unpainted and it looks great with the black. It is super lite. I carried it around and put it on by myself. I have one bitch about mine though and that is the manufacturer could have done a better job where all the locking and latching stuff is. I had to rework it for everything to fit right. It was 500 bucks, and looks gerat. The clear on it shines as if it's wet and it looks deep. The carbon fiber looks black from 10 feet and highlites to the dark silver of the fiber as you see it from different angles. My stock hood started checking and recieved a couple of little dents. I priced the cost of refinisng it and buying the carbon fiber one made a lot more sense. Mine came from a company in Texas and I waited about 7 mos. for it The wait was worth it.
