What's everyone think.

Carbon Fiber Hood.........yes or no ?

This is what it'd look like on my Cobra. Painted in similar fashion. The center being clearcoated showing the CF.

But, WHY would you want to show the CF? That's gaudy as anything. IMO, like kids wearing eyelid-rings to show that they're "hardcore"

So if you have your eyebrow pierced, then that means you think you are "hardcore" I for one don't have mine pierced but get real man. Also on the hood, def not for me. Might look a tad bit better if the outside edges weren't painted, still not for me. One might look half way decent on a Black Lightning though. -Mat-

No, it was an example that some people are willing to spend money to make their vehicle look good and fit in with 10% of the population, while making it look ugly to the other 90%.

looks *OK* in the pic, thats too hard of a thing to judge without seeing up close... I do like the idea having the sides of it painted body color though. Do they make any nice functional hoods for the new cobras?

Yeah...

I'm thinking NO. I thought no before too. It's money in the WORKS for a save KENNE BELL fund.

It is functional, the vents in the hood are open. It weighs ~22lbs vs the factory 40lbs. It would help slightly and front to rear weight distribution.

Konig,

The stock Cobra hood is also function w/ open vents.

The question is the paint job. It would look good with just the center portion left carbon fiber, but you will need a good sprayer to hide the line between the to. And it will slightly lower the overall poundage
