Default CF Hood vs. Stock Hood

i really wasn't a big fan of cf hoods, but this photoshop job just changed my mind. thanks to PMantis24... photoshop stud.

only thing left is to convince the boss...

how much weight do you actually save with the cf hood?

next to none...
plus if you re-paint it it would probably be the same.
we already have super light aluminum hoods.

although...that does look very nice!

i think this is going on my 'to do' list... after wheels...

now, which wheels would look good with a cf hood? ssr comps? bbs lm's? volks? hmmmm.

another question would be which cf hood. oem style, 4ig j's racing style, amuse...

If i were you, i'd stay away from volk rims. stay clear away .

ssr comps or bbs lm's are very good choices but people here already have them. get something different, ie. HRE's (baller), Work rims, ect.


it's nice to have a set of rims that no one has but of course the choice is up to you.

stay way from SSR's...you should get volks since they have since they have various styles of rims...just dont get the Volk CE28n's since everyone has those...unless you want the best rims for the S2k in 17's.

hehehe. you two are safe... for now.

i'm leaning towards bbs lm's (MrMack goes DOH!!!) but that changes every week. it changes to ssr comps and back to bbs lm's with gun metal volks thrown in here and there.

i guess it'll all depend on what mood i'm in when i do buy wheels. maybe something new will come out.
