You never know...could be made of aerogel

How sweet would it be to have the IS-F carbon fiber engine cover... with a clear hood! If only the clear hood existed...

I think carbon looks good if you do it right! It all depends on the look you are going for. Robs carbon out 2is looks good!

Like some others have said, I think a CF hood will look good on your car if you have other CF parts to completement. Otherwise, it will look out of place.

haha...I was gonna say........
It looks really good on dark cars IMO and white
..it's a very aggressive look. Plus if resale is a concern it's all bolt on /off in the future

It's all about execution. I think it would look best on dark color cars like SGM, but if your car is bone stock (and gonna stay that way) then I would say DON'T DO IT!!

I think CF looks best with SGM. It matches it perfectly..
