After market hood opinion

[02mineralGT]

So im looking for some opinions here... I have a mineral grey mustang and I want to add a cowl hood but im not sure if I should go with a paintable hood or a carbon fiber. What are your thoughts???

Carbon fiber can be painted, but defeats the look in my opinion. Paintable cowl would look sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I have some carbon fiber pieces on my GT. They are stylistic,though. Nice show pieces. Mirror covers , trunk panel and rear mud sweeps carbon fiber. The cost of the carbon fiber hood would be way more over the fiberglass.

THIS STANGS HOOD CARBON FIBER.

not sure what your saying (paintable hood or a carbon fiber)

do you like the look of carbon fiber its self or the light weight ?

but yea i say match the color to your car ......

 

[02mineralGT]

to clarify i am talking about the carbon fiber look versus painted to match

I would go carbon fiber cowl hood with the cowl left carbon fiber and the sides painted mineral grey, it would look sexy!

CARBON FIBER DOES LOOK SWEEEEEEEET. ANY YEAR MUSTANG

whole hood doesnt look that great, IMO. paint the sides like previously said.


is your car garaged? I have a friend who had a CF hood, and after a couple months in the sun day in/day out, the CF turned strange colors and looked like crap. hood cost 1200 new, wasnt even one of the cheap Ebay crapboxes.

I vote for painted. What hood are you looking at getting?
