that will look hot. Have you thought about getting a non-stock looking CF hood? Something subtle, not outrageous, but different. Just my two cents.

Let me be the first to say Stay Stock. I never liked carbon fiber hoods, unless they're painted to match the car color.

Oh, I've made up my mind. I'm getting one, just wanna share what it will look like on my ride. Now, just gotta decide between the VIS or Fiber Images

not sure if anyone has told you, but you COULD try to use your carbon fiber vinyl to lay on top of the stock hood to get the carbon fiber look..

bat, looks good. I think you have to get rid of the chrome Nissan burger inlays. They are shinny and bright, doesn't match the theme of your car. Everything else looks great

Ya, I'm gonna remove the inlays on the emblem and put either black or dark gunmetal.

Does the fiber images hood have a UV protection, I know the VIS does. I unfortunately got my hood from an unknown manufactuer and it is fading already and is less than 6 month's old. Just make sure you get one with UV protection.
