The way they are white looks awful. I'd like to see them with Carbon Fiber vinyl on them!

Do you have a legitimate reason behind that? Carbon Fiber looks great. I've got a friend with a SRT-4 and CF hood, have you ever seen it in person?

In my opinion--

It's personal taste.. I don't like the look of fake carbon fiber because, well, it's fake.

Is your friends hood carbon fiber, or is it wrapped?

i have a carbon fiber hood for my other joy ride but it is a bit to expencive but worth it. I do think it would look really unique to be honest but it is what we do to make our dd our owne but wash it and make sure you have a back up incase some thing gets goofed for some reason

Uhhm well looking at carbon fiber vinyl you wont be able to tell its fake -_-.

But no, my friends hood is made of real carbon fiber.

It is a stage 3 turbo'd SRT-4, 3in diameter STRAIGHT pipe, no cat or anything. Pushing around 450fwhp. Torque steer is a b**ch.

Real carbon fiber is three dimensional. Carbon fiber vinyl has no depth. It's obviously fake.

Again, lots of people like it for the looks. It's just not for me.

Not true, you can get tri-weave "carbon fiber" vinyl.

I agree here. I don't know how easy it would be to wrap these vents well, but I've seen good carbon fibre vinyl that you'd never be able to tell the difference. There is cheap stuff out there too

Wrapping these will be impossible, but they will be painted black and put on. Why would I leave them white? Lol
