You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Why would it not look nice? Should look the same as what your car looks like now, right?

i dont think so. for me, like rims, hoods can either make your car look good or kill it. unless we wanna play safe, then just keep it stock and clean.

i just want to change the look of my car. thats why im considering either fiberglass or carbon fiber.

i think im gonna save up for cf. 8) it looks better anyway.

thanks y'all for the advice.

( can you post pics of red eg hatch with fiberglass hood or cf. )

CF.

Were you looking at a fiberglass hood with vents and stuff? Please say no.

Oh wait. You're in the Phillipines...off topic, but you know of any EK roofs w/ a bronze moonroof you could hack off and send me? haha
