Default Need Opinion on CF Hood

Hello, I recently ran into a good deal for an oem style cf hood, but I am not too sure if it will look good on my db. Here's a pic of my current exterior mods.

So do you think a cf hood will compliment the exterior mods or will it ruin it? Thanks!

i think it would look great. I found a pic of BlueBatmobile's old Z that had a CF hood, not OEM, but it will give you an idea of the color combo. I think with that amuse kit it would look siiiiiick. I am a CF ***** tho lol.

Is it private sale or vendor? I'm also looking at CF hood as well. Prob Seibon TS style.

I agree but I have a hard time picturing what my car would look like with it. I am not sure if I have enough black accents to go with the cf hood like blue batmobile's car.

Changvi: It's a private seller but I think the best price for that style hood is being offered by carbonltd which is a vendor here.

pretty much the only difference as far as dark attributes are concerned, with my car and yours, are the competetion graphite wheels, smoked JDM reflectors, and black grill.

here is my car



i think it works perfectly, and I think your car would look great and even more aggressive with the hood since you already have the kit.

If it's that great of a deal you could always buy the hood, try it on, and if you don't like it just sell it here in the marketplace and get what you paid for it. The only hassel then is reselling it, but then at least you would know whether or not you actually like it.

How about this one??

Possibly the best carbon hood available for a Z and its up for sale! There is an identical one on the wall of the Nismo showroom in Tokyo.
