Just to let you know, most of the CF hoods you see aren't functional. Most of them don't weigh that much less to cut time off your 1/4 mile because they aren't pure CF. Even if it was pure CF, replacing just your hood will not do much.

I know they don't. I think it looks really good too.

I didn't say people thought it lowered 1/4 mile time. Ghost said how painting your hood black is not functional. So I said and neither is CF if you only have a CF hood.

The point I was trying to make was that 98% of people with CF hoods, do it for the look. Having just a CF hood will not do anything for you. Painting it black will not do anything either but it is cheaper then CF and it looks similar from a far.
