The headlights make the car. Still like that style better than the new ones.

Nah don't get it, because you'll leave it bare, and bare carbon fiber looks terrible in my opinion. It should be painted.

HoChi, I think exactly the same way man. I don't care if people know its carbon fiber or not. It just looks too tacky w/o painting it.

yea i agree, def should be painted, but a lotta people get carbon fiber just to show that they have it...and most of the time when people get it it doesn'te even help at all...i've seen cases where they buy a HEAVIER CF hood. EX: project bucket, the guy was like "yea we got the carbon fiber hood on here, probably weighs the same if not more than the stock hood" or something like that. PS: no offense to project bucket, REPRESENT!

[p]Yeah, i guess unpainted looks okay with a white car and a black like hood... i've seen it look nice, but still i'd like it better painted. Also on blue rexes it looks alright... But on the red one? Like on the project vivid cars? "Gag me wiht a spoon, and i mean that in a good way" No honestly, carbon fiber should be painted, but then no on would buy it because they would'nt have an ad on their car saying "I just spent 1000 bucks on a hood!"[p]Name quote for more ho chi points

What do you guys thing of a gunmetal-colored hood scoop and spoiler on a WRB Rex? I'm thinking of doing that to match my gunmetal wheels.

IM NOT DESPERATE TO HAVE THE CARBON FIBER ON MY CAR.. I JUS' WANT TO GO FOR A DIFFERENT LOOK, AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD JUST DO THE SCOOP INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE HOOD.

whoa chill out buddy, we gave you our feedback, and the general consensus was it would look bad. If you were that dedicated to getting the carbon fiber, just get it and screw our opinions. But then you shouldn't have asked in the first place. No need to shout.[p]And no one has indentified the quote yet...
