To each his own. Some colors can pull off full unpainted CF parts others can't. IMO it kind of looks JDM.

Not to be rude, but for a little more you can actually have a real hood. there was one on here brand new for 800.

$600-700 for a CF Hood? Sounds like a low-quality ebay type hood. A quality CF hood will run you $1000+

If your getting a Vorsteiner its much more than 200-300 more than wrapping a hood... Try $1200 more. just sayin'

plus there's no such thing as an OEM CF hood. you gotta go after market for that. and when you go after market you always have t worry about fitment issues.
