The carbon fiber hood looks good. What is its advantage over the OEM hood? Is it smooth or does it have a textured feel?
A couple of things I'm guessing is that it's lighter; chip proof; And just looks good. Still waiting for fritz to comment on smooth surface(which could have some type of coating on it that could chip, even if the CF it self won't).

It is about 15 pounds so it is significantly lighter than factory. It is very smooth it has a gloss coat over it. It is not chip proof though, a big enough rock will def cause a chip. I am prob going to spray it with 3m defender coating.
