Check out carparts.com or coparts.com , You can type in the model , make and year of your vehicle, and it will show you a list of salvaged or totaled cars. You pick out parts and you can pick em up or have them ship to you.

Carbon fiber hoods would look right on any color especially if you have some clean exteriors mods done to your car to compliment it and some performance mods to back it up as well. Otherwise folks in the car scene will see it as putting a bench STI wing or a giant drag wing on a corolla or a base model civic. Just saying :yeshrug:

I just saw a wrapped hot pink subie wrx with a carbon fiber trunk lid ( not sure if it's wrapped or the actual piece) and a white vw gti with a carbon hood about 15 mins ago. Both cars are modded.

thabks for the advice breh. When you say performance mods, what you mean pertaining to the hood ?
Not sure how much I can mod but I’m gonna look into it

If worse comes to worst , I’ll just get another hood and have it painted along with the bumper

just gotta hope the hood latch ain’t fucced

No problem man,

I'm assuming your car is stock. Adding performance mods is byremoving stock restrictive oem/factory parts (like the down pipe for example) and replacing it with an aftermarket part and tuning/tweaking the ecu (computer/chip) to make the car accerlate faster,possible get more mpg, unlock speed limiter, etc etc. Think of tuning the ecu of your car is like jailbreaking an iphone. By tuning you car you can unlock its potential and by adding aftermarket parts, you'll feel like you're driving a whole different car.

Carbon fiber hood is considered as an exterior and a weight reduction mod. Less weight and more power good as long the cars handles well too (suspensions,tires,breaks, rear sway bar plays a role in the handeling dept)

Carbon fiber hoods are expensive. And imo they're just "a cherry on the top " for street car tuners. Meaning that its not a necessary mod (unless if you take your gutted out car to a track, drag strip or illegal street race where there's $$$ involve) but it will make your car's appearance "mean,clean,agressive,sexy or bad"

If your car naturally aspirated, turbo charged, or super charged?

If its turbo or super charged you can definately tune the ecu to make it go faster. With NA , its going to be a lil difficult, gotta take it somewhere to get it dyno tune, or slap a turbo,blower or w.e

If you planning on modding your bimmer, just to let you know , carbon fiber hoods ain't the first to go to mods.

its turbo charged and ive seen some Bimmer mods online for the ecu and tuning etc

about the cf hood , I just seen they bout $1200 and I seen the regular hoods are around $800 . If I couldn’t find a hood my exact color , I was gone cash out for the carbon fiber
