    Gold wheels go with anything. The cf hood in itself wouldn't look that nice since the car has no other black on it. Keep it clean looking. :)

    Depends on if hes going for looks or weight.. Mysel the weight issue is a factor plus I like the looks of the Vis cf hood. So I will be painting mine.

    The weight really doesn't do anything. In fact, knowing someone who had one and then sold it, he complained that less weight on the front drive wheels made handling a little too touchy and erratic. He also mentioned that he had less traction over bumpy road conditions.

    No carbon fiber. Get yourself a generic ram air scoop. Chop a hole in your stock hood, fiberglass it in there, then re-paint it white. That'd be hot.

    The only thing I dont like about carbon hoods is that they fade over time .... I guess it takes money to keep them shinny .... They look good dont get me wrong I just hate that they fade......But some one told me if your gonna get a hood make sure you dont buy a cheap one spend the money and get a good one they last longer..... :)

    his suspension probably just sucks, less weight is never a bad thing.

    I would just leave the car as it is... I personally think that CF hoods would suit darker cars more

    I never said I didnt like them I mean you can paint a car for what it cost for one carbon fiber hood.... That's all ...If i could adfford it I would get one ....Thats the only reason I dont like the hood is because of the price and a friend told me if you want a good one you have to pay alot.... :)
