what makes it so awesome is the fact that is very subtle.Not like CF on red.
There is a member here with SB with full C-West carbon fiber kit. It is one of the dopest Zeeees on this site. His nick is nitrous....

Peace

I don't have a problem with cf on black z's but it looks soooo much better on other colors. You can't just slap one piece of cf on a black z...you have to go all out IMO.

This is one of those things that is definitely a personal preference. I ordered one for my car but it came in damaged so I didn't put it on. Personally, I think that it is going to look OK. The best color IMO to do this with is Daytona.

Who cares about looks. If it weighs less, get it.

yea the stock aluminum hood was very light, so that a "wet" carbon hood wasnt much of a difference... however if you rocking "dry" carbon then we'd be talking about a whole different ball game.

Why not consider CF in an other color besides black!! A color such as yellow, or red. You can order CF in any color you want!!!
