Here is a carbon fiber hood for $695.00

Carbon Fiber Hood Site

I agree for a little more, cause of shipping, you can have the nice look of carbon fiber.

If this happened to me I would defintly have a carbon fiber hood in a heart beat

Mmm..i've been really thinking

I got this car for comfy traveling...

If i wanted my p5 to be sporty and all, i would have gotten a stick shift.

Cost for carbon hood: free *cause of insurance chceck for $650

Cost for replacing hood: $200-300 my money.

What do u all guys think?
*again, i dont want my car to look like a ricer car...at times like these..i really wished i gotten my p5 in black mica color :[

IMO, skip the cf hood. Just get it replaced with a stock new hood.

If you don't want to look ricey, DON'T get a CF hood. Not flaming those who do - but it is not exactly a "sleeper" look.

I guess if you could paint it, maybe consider it. But I wouldn't do it.

Just my $.02
