Arrow your opinions please

ok this is my car

you may or may not know, i got in a bit of a fender bender and i need a new hood. now, i have mixed feelings on this. carbon fiber is nice and it seems really cool.

some friends say a black hood on a white car will look stupid, cheap, and lame because it looks like i didn't have money to paint it to match.

some other friends who are cool with the import scene and everything love the idea. i am just really not sure what i want to do. what do you guys recommend?

OEM style carbon fiber hood

I say the OEM carbon fiber hood. a black carbon fiber hood would look good on a white car.. It's carbon fiber, it would look good on anything. It would be ugly if you got a regular hood and painted it black.

Definitely OEM CF hood. The lexan one is cheezy looking.

ok cool.. i think i might have to go with that. imoto.com has a nice hood with skeleton, and pre-drilled nozzle holes for squirters.

anyone know a cheap place to buy that mirror shit to stick on the underside of the hood? like a miror silver sticky film

Go for the OEM style CF. That should look really nice. Now all you gotta do is get some big ass wheels .
