      Carbon fiber hood on my aveo

      Im thinking of having a carbon fiber hood on my red aveo.
      What do you guys think? Will it look good?

      What is the difference in weight between the stock hood and the carbon fiber hood? I found on one Amazon.com entry for a replacement hood that it weighs 55 pounds and that one of the carbon fiber hoods weighs 30 pounds.

      Not a whole lot of difference, wondering if it makes much sense for gaining MPG/acceleration.

      Every 100 pounds you take off, your 1/4 mile will be about .1 quicker in most cases, would not make much of a difference, mostly it is done as it looks cool.

      Woah! Only $75!? Is that a quality buy? Wouldn't having your hood painted cost more than that?
