My hood is being replaced - should I get a CF hood? It works out to be the same price. I would probably end up painting it which may defy the whole point of getting it.
Thx Josh. Yeah guys, it is platinum silver ( haven't changed the sig yet!) - so would you still put it on. And would you paint it or leave it the CF color?
I say get it for sure, when the first damaged CF hood that GTP sent me came in, I put it on anyway and it did look sick!! The replacement they shipped me was broken worse than the first one though, so now I am waiting on hood #3 from them.....
If it hails again, the CF hood might not be able to be repaired like the solid metal hood and your insurance company might throw a fit when you try to get them to buy you a new one.
And since you don't care about performance, a steel hood is probably a little safer in a front end collision. This might be important to you since you transport your children in your car.
