I think it's about 7 pounds lighter (10 pounds itself), looks really good on black. Fitment is nearly flawless, nice buy.

 

does it do well against UV rays? how long should it last if u wax it often?

 

Well my cousin has a cf hood on his celica, and in the past year, it has been through winter snows and hot sun in the summer, and even survived a hail storm untouched (poor car has dents all over on the metal though). CF is very durable and should last a long time, even longer with good care.

 

cf is the best thing ever made

 

how much

 

The CF on black looks incredible. Great choice.

 

there are no other choices besides stock and cf

 

IMO, a carbon fiber hood (at least one that is styled after the OEM hood) never looks ricey. They offer enhanced functionality - lighter, stronger, and very cool appearance. That, to me, isn't rice.

 

thanks for all the complements guys...i will post more pics when i can....

 

How much is the CF hood?

 

$625 before shipping and without clearcoat...
i got a clearcoat so that was extra. i think it was 100 or 150 for clearcoat...but you can get a local body shop to do it as well and maybe get a better deal

 

fiberimages hoods are top quality beats any other imo

 

i want to get one for my black evo, but i have noticed some cars have carbon fiber hoods that fade, i don't want one if it will fade over time. btw, how much lighter is the carbon fiber ove the aluminum stocker?

 

looks great

its only a couple pounds lighter because the aluminum stock hood is already so light. I think its a difference of about 5 pounds

 

did the hood come with a new top grill or did you take it off the stock hood. if so was it easy to reinstall? washer nozzles?
