finally got my carbon fiber hood

unpainted carbon fiber is just as bad as unpainted body kits, imo
looks like shit

a better use of your money would be some wax, some nice chamois, and a bottle of soap for those wheels, just as much bang for your buck, you wouldn't look like a choch, and you wouldn't have to worry about your ungodly expensive hood catching wind and busting the shit out of your windshield

I agree with the unpainted CF perspective. Paint the hood to match your car, but leave a unpainted portion with the Z logo. By doing so, your car doesn't look to gaudy while letting your friends see what the hood is really made of.

Edit: Not a HUGE Z logo, but as big as the rest of the emblems on the car. Maybe leave a unpainted portion that says, "Fairlady Z."

maybe you kids dont read.....he needed a hood for his other car, i believe he got a pretty good deal on this hood, and put it on his red one, so his other car had a hood.

listen 17 yearold. perhaps if you could read maybe you'd notice they were talking about it being unpainted. not it being cf.

IMO the only time a CF hood is gahdy is when everyone with the same car has one, and when they have hoodpins though them

as far as i know and im still researching this, there a 5 of these hoods worldwide, i feel lucky to have one, and will not be ruining it with paint, the cars theme is red/black/cf, the use of CF will be minimal and when it is used it will be tasteful, i feel that the fact that this is a OEM style CF hood makes it more tasteful then those 'invader' style CF's

i will not be putting any fairlady logos, emblems, or anything to mention the fairlady, my car is not a fairlady, so therefore why would i promote it as such, my car is a USDM 300zx 2+2 and will promoted as such
