carbon fiber hood
 

heyy guys i want to put a carbon fiber hood on my 96 mustang gt. But i'm afraid it might look to much like a rice burner. I don't want anything that looks like those little punks that rev at anything and everything with there little 4 banger with 150 hp. and 1.8 liter engines. So any feedback would be great. thanks monroegt.

:-/ i dunno man...carbon fiber is really in the rice can.....if i were u .id just get maybe a Cobra R hood or sum kind of cowl....i dont know if its just me...but ive never seen a mustang with a carbon fiber hood on the road...dont try to be like ricers....its easy for us mustang owners...all we'd have to do is buy a wing thats twice the size of the car and a 10 dollar muffler tip. Let the ricers "TRY" and copy us with their 1.6 L engines and carbon fiber cigarette ashtreys....did i answer ur question?? :D

yeah thats pretty much how my feelings on the situation were. I was just checking to see if i was correct.

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

If you put on a carbon fiber hood you would have to follow that up with a huge wing on the back and some of those Lambo doors...

Oh, and lots of stickers :D

I am thinking of getting a carbon fiber hood. But having it painted to match the car. Trying to save weight out of my stang.

Matt :D

Carbon fiber isnt ricey.

My car is black and I have considered getting a stock reproduction carbon fiber hood and not painting it.

this one kid at school has a 94 stang with a carbon fiber hood, it looks pretty good. His car is a darker blue.

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

i wanted one too, but from a body shop guy who just fixed my stang "it is VERY hard to make a carbon fiber hood match and fit perfectly with the stangs"

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

if the hood matches the color of your car then that isn't too bad. But if it contrasts then I would not do it. Your best option would be to get a fiberglass hood with a raised cowl

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

i think u r givin them too much credit there... :D

i dont think it would be ricey, at leat it is gonna have a purpose for u...as long as u r doin it to lighten ur car...

just my opinion though

On a dark colored Stang, I think the carbon fiber hood would look pretty good. :)

Hey guys my 96 is tilt green

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

i think it would look sweet on a black stang like mine...im thinking about getting one and keeping it like it is...(correct me if im wrong, do they come in a black and grey pattern?? that would look cool on black if they do come in that pattern

Re: carbon fiber hood
 

Yes, carbon fiber looks like that.

One thing to remember about the lil ricer punks is that they don't have a mustang, find a nice CF hood that matches the color, or worse comes to worse have it custom painted and put it on. One suggestion I would make is finding one with a small scoop to resemble a classic muscle car look. :D
