| Matte color car w/ CF hood??
I haven't seen any Matte color car with a CF hood yet, especially one that is clear coated. I have seen car with matte black hoods, roof, and trunk. But what about the other way around? Matte car with a shiny CF hood? Anyone have pictures??

the majority of "carbon fiber" hoods for sale out there are not pure carbon fiber, and they are not that strong at all.
they are not entirely made of carbon fiber, just an overlay on top of fiberglass as mentioned by poster above

[/SARCASM] | How many people on RS really buy a CF hood for their strength and weight reduction, again? Idiot.

Well, apparently mine was too NWS (the under boob dancing asian) and they never changed it. I asked the mods after to change it too, but oh well. Might as well keep it since it's bigger and easier to spot than those small tiny ones

Oh my god this thread hurts my brain.
He's not asking whether it'll be 'rice', if it's 'played out', or even wondering about weight reduction. The guy is just curious about whether a clear coated CF hood looks good on a matte car.
After doing a quick search, I couldn't find any pics worth posting. Personally, I don't think it would look all that great. What colour would the car be??

I think you are the first to understand my question. I haven't seen it done, so I was wondering if it will look good. I really don't care if my car is rice or played out...honestly, I think my car is rice and played out, but I like it..
I am thinking of a matte grey... matte black and white has been done, same as red and blue, so I just want something nice but not too crazy. Quote:

I am still debating, I don't want to end up regreting and have to matte clear my CF hood or sell it. I don't care if CF hood is "rice", I always wanted one and I can finally afford one... so I am happy.

99% of the CF crap you see on cars are wet carbon. Cheap one made of fiberglass with just some CF overlay. Dry carbon ones will cost you an arm and a leg.
