Carbon Fiber Hood

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

Does anyone know which brand of Carbon fiber hood is better?
Seibon Hood:$600
Carbon Works: $375
Esprit: $1248
There must be a difference in quality if the prices vary so much?!

I'd have to R-E-A-L-L-Y like the CF look to pay the cost of a new paintjob, set of wheels, or a couple used bolt-ons for a hood that doesn't even do anything.

john's right about the weight savings. my cf hood weighs about the same as the stock 350z hood. the added perk is the vent on the top that let's some of the heat out of the engine.

If you were turbo or road racing the car, I could see how it could arguably be beneficial. The cooler the better though I suppose. Bottom line, if it is money well spent to you, it's well spent.

A:

cause ladies love clothes, and clothes are made out of fibers, hence there's nothing better than a car made out of fibers.

i was joking. i've had a coulpe girls ask me about it, but they didn't know what it was. one thought it was a solar panel and another just thought i must have gotten into a wreck and hadn't gotten the new hood painted yet.

And after they asked if it was expensive all you'd have to do is truthfully tell them "yes" and ... wah-lah! They probably won't be educated tho ;)
