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.

Re: carbon fiber hood
:-/ 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??

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

Re: carbon fiber hood
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.

Re: carbon fiber hood
Carbon fiber isnt ricey.
My car is black and I have considered getting a stock reproduction carbon fiber hood and not painting it.

Re: carbon fiber hood

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

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
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.
