To every man his own. But sounds like its gonna look like a nice car in the end, pics would also be helpful in your process. BTW I got a new cf radiator cooling shroud that I'd be willing to sell to you for a great price lmk it just sits on my wall lol

Carbon fiber cracks and warps in sunlight. If your using this car for anything but shows and in the garage, I would't do it. I've had 2 different carbon fiber hoods and both cracked, faded and warped within a year. Best of luck

Carbon fiber is nice, just don't go over-board with it. A lot of people tend to play it out

But hey it's your car so do whatever you want with it!

A stock Evo hood is lighter than cf unless it's dry carbon and your better off wrapping it in a Sikk cf wrap just not a cheap autozone one.
