If you are adding CF to reduce weight, then it's a worthwhile mod

If you are adding CF to impress 18-year old homies at school...it's a ricer mod

jtfairlane, I have a carbon fiber hood and Ill smoke the **** out of you . How ricer is that? By the way most of those fenders with the intakes on them are stock metal ones with the vent molded in.

I would agree....
If the 'glass alternative is heavier....

I want a CF hood strictly for the weight savings. I'd love to take as much weight off the nose for handling as possible

I'd go glass, but i need to paint it and i'm worried about matching the Black paints up. Since i don't really want to repaint the entire car i would spend a little more for a CF hood and leave it unpainted on a black car.

Has anyone done a weight comparison between CF and 'glass from the same manufacturer?

I don't know if these guys are talked about in any of the links that have been posted, but their stuff looks pretty cool. I don't have any first hand experience with them, either.

I don't car for how far their flare is on the fenders it looks alright on the front but, the rear looks terrible.
I don't mind these z1 fenders would probably fill the vent or change it somehow
