Who are you speaking to??? You can keep the sarcasm and the face..

 

Seems like an incredible waste of $800 to me. Just save all the money you would have spent on mods and buy a lighter car, instead of devaluing an A6.

 

Why would I want a lighter car???????? Why do you all think I want to lighten the car???? It is for LOOKS, do you understand LOOKS....

 

No sarcasm. An Audi A6 is leaps and bounds more sophisticated and classy than an IS300. The new BMW M3 has a carbon fiber roof, but IMO, it was a big waste of money. Money better spent on performance brakes. An aftermarket hood will cheese this car up big time. Of course, you can do whatever you want to your car. BTW, I could be wrong about you getting 20 people. I have been surprised by what some Audi owners think is cool.

 

I agree that is why I chose the A6, however i am not saying that a carbon hood is for everyone and let a lone for an A6. I just feel with my setup and the way my car looks I thought it would look kinda cool. And as far as the M3 goes, well yeah i think $5000.00 or so could absolutely be spent elsewhere.

 

Call me a traditionalist, but I feel that carbon fibre is a material designed to achieve a certain strength whilst saving weight, not for aesthetics. My other road car has a whole heap of carbon parts as standard (but painted and not obviously carbon), and my race car is built from carbon, but I would never consider getting carbon body panels for an Audi. In my opinion,it would make it look like a cheap ricer. The only worse things would be to put big chrome wheels on it and lower the suspension.

 

Well I see lotta opnionated people here! Why do we care if he wants to put a carbon fiber hood on his car? it is HIS car and really it is a matter of taste. I am personally not a fan but it can lighten the car, lower cebter of gravity... some... and look good for some poeple.. I actually saw a brand new M6 last saturday with carbon hood and top. It is not my preference but lots of people liked it... if it is done well, it might look ok on a dark color A6. However, I do agree you'll have a hard time gettig 20 orders for a wide body A6, you might get more if it was for a narrow body such as the 2.7T which are on average more modded than the 4.2.. Just be careful who you go with, I ahve seen some really bad fit on carbon/aftermarket hoods! good luck!

 

Haha! You guys are frickin hilarious. Leave the poor guy alone.

 

LOL... Funny thing is I could care less on what people think about the idea.. It is my car and I knew coming into this I would never get 20 people that want a hood, but it was an idea and wanted to get input and see if there were any takers... No harm no fowl and thanks...

 

I agree to a point and no I do not have big chrome rims, they are hyper black with a polished lip and yes the suspension is lowered... I may be 34, but im still a kid at heart and love the look of it lowered, TO A CERTAIN DEGREE...
