carbon fiber hoods on stangs

mustangkid05 · Jul 19, 2006

what do u guys think of carbon fiber hoods? any one with pics?

Skud · Jul 19, 2006

I assume you mean the carbon fiber look right? If so, then I don't think it looks very good. I think the only time it would look good would be on a black or true blue car..

As for painted carbon fiber hoods well, I think they look ok but then they will look like any other hood. The weight savings won't be that great either as the stock one is some sort of composite material anyways..

Thanks!!

It's a personal prefrence thing. I think it looks awesome, while others say ricey.

Remember, you can see the carbon fiber weave on the F40 (made the paint thin to save weight!), and the Commemorative Edition Z06

Carbon fiber hoods on a Mustang please you are
making me want to vomit.

myponyrocks · Jul 20, 2006

lmao you guys are funny... I agree on most colors it doesn't work. And yes even on mine reactions are going to be hit or miss but...

The worst thing about CF is the weave reflects badly in pics.

Oh and the weight savings, I can take the hood off my car by myself, it took my brother and I to get the stocker off.

this is my car... i originally wanted to paint it, but since i got it used for really cheap it has a crack that my body guy didnt want to paint over. well now the look grew on my and really matches my black convertable top

What brand are those cf hoods?

RoadconeTuning · Jul 20, 2006

Seibon and VIS make the only good ones but they are in the 650-750 pricerange... i was/am looking for a 95 Cobra R Style in Carbon but ill probably just get the Cervini's

The stock hood... is way too heavy. A CF hood would give great weight savings.. and to me, I think it looks great.

myponyrocks · Jul 20, 2006

my hood I got from muscle car direct, the price even after shipping is still less than what the normal non-sale price is. I was/am super happy with it.

^^^ I'm digging those carbon fiber hoods. Just don't add any ground effects or 20" dubz and it'll be sweet

fudleyd · Jul 20, 2006

I think they look pretty good too...
I kind of want to get a 95 Cobra R hood like that for my black Stang...

Plain CF looks ok on some cars, depending on the color of the rest of the car. But CF hoods are good in general, especially on our cars where the front end is wayyy too heavy to begin with. Moving the battery to the trunk and CF hood are on my list of eventually to-do's lol

I thought it was a bunch of maggots?

So its only rice if you dont paint it? Why paint it? You spent all this money to have a superior hood than the rest....just to hide it?

I'm on the fence honestly. I think what a few people have done... painting the hood but leaving some CF looks really awesome. I'd like to do something like that eventually, but for now I just dropped mad coin on the hood... I'm not gonna paint it and I don't mind the comments. I was actually surprised how many compliments I've got. So far the only negative has been on the internet. :SNSign:

yea i think cf looks good on cars it will stick out on yellow white true blue blue myponyrocks yours just doesnt stick out that much no offense but it still looks good imo
