carbon fiber hood question

I don't know why but my one thing i would like to do to the appearance is a carbon fiber hood. my question was is there one where i can put my stock sti scoop on while the rest be carbon fiber. I always thought that would look really good.

 

yea most of them you can swap the hood scoops since they are 2 different pieces

 

so they are two different pieces then. awsome that is all i needed to know.

 

here's a pic of mine snapped today at the meet

 

that is exactly the look I am going for. great looking car!!

 

Wagons lookin hot!!!

 

Yes very hot.

Make sure your CF hood is clear coated well or it'll fade like crazy after a while.

 

You do know that carbon fiber hoods for STi's & WRX's are heavier than the stock one? Not a big deal if you don't participate in any motor sports competition...just thought you should know.

...to each his own...

 

How much does the stock hood weigh compared to the carbon fiber hoods? Not like i was doing this for much of an upgrade in performance but i didn't think a carbon fiber hood could be heavier...

 

lol....tell me about it:wtc:

 

Cause our stock hoods are aluminum. Open the hood of a Civic and you'll see it's like three times as heavy!!

 

Or open my hood and it's 4 times heavier....RS hoods are steel and very heavy.

 

Yeah, the OEM STi hood is alot lighter. Carbon Fiber hoods are really fiberglass with a few layers of CF on the top = heavy.

 

I don't know the exact weight but I have felt a few side by side and the stock was always lighter.
