Like I said before I'm accually not gonna go with the Cowl hood. I MIGHT go with the OEM style. After I got my new tires put on today at Pep Boys (thanks to my brother who's the manager) I got a nice discount, we were looking in the Proline catalog and I found some rims. they are 10 spoke gunmetal.

Better then the hood?

CF hoods are usually NO lighter than a stock fibreglass hood. Reason is that most use the steel beams/supports and just lay the CF on top. So, CF hoods are definitely more of an aesthetic mod than a weight saving one.

I think your SHO would look pretty tight with an OEM style CF hood, and dont paint it. CF hoods look great on dark colored cars, and some light colored ones.


And those wheels are nice, but your car would look tits with some black/polished lip 18's, with springs of course.

Who cares what other people think? The only person that needs to like it is you.
