I guess they apply some layers of primer that make it adhere better to the CF?

It is probably expensive when one considers the actual weight savings of a CF hood. Most people don't want it painted because they want the CF look. I like it on the interior, but I'm not sold on mismatched exterior body parts though.
yea, they basically paint it the same as metal body parts..

i think cf on black cars looks good, only because it's very subtle..but i definitely think color-matched looks better...the only reason i was considering a cf hood was because my buddy who works at one of those online parts suppliers warehouses had one lying around that he was going to sell me for cheap, but it ended up being a special order for a customer that just got lost for a while, so he couldn't sell it to me.. [:@]

so right now i'm rolling around with a silver hood on my brilliant black a4 [&:]

Wow, I didn't expect this many replies coming back from work and though I'd be made fun of a lot more, haha. Heres what I was thinking about, it is VIS.


Go ahead and make fun of me now

I'll start, but I'll be gentle. Other may not...

Ummm... Why not something a little more subtle? Are you going for looks? Or, is this more of a "form-follows-function" kinda thing? Planning a big-turbo that'll nee the extra airflow?

I'm planning to Mod it as much as possible. I'm going to get Borla exhaust and a N75H before I go bigger turbo, but one day.

I have, I just am not into it I guess. I'm looking for more style I guess. The invader may not seem stylish to a lot of you, but I like something a little out of the ordinary.

you have to host them on a site like photobucket or imageshack, then copy the url to that picture, post it in the text box here, and tag it with the image tags ([IMG]url[/IMG])
