I'm saving up for a new hood...what should I get? - Focaljet

Well I have the CF invader style hood. I like that it has the air vent where it does b/c my wastegate vents right there. I dont know if I want to go back with another one or not due to it cracked like hell after 2 years. Heres a pic of the car.

I kinda dont wanna have to spend money to clear it or paint it, so i prefer to have a hood thats already either painted my color or is already cleared carbon fiber. I think i would like a fiberglass one if it's possible to find something w/ a vent there.

if you are going for fiberglass, you will have to paint it anyway..
so i say keep your hood and paint is easy

and i think your hood looks good with body kit you have

Spend the money on some new headlights

Yea i think so too. The headlights are coming apart sometime this year and being painted the same color as the car.

That's a beautiful hood when painted, I would spend the money on that, and like was mentioned before, the headlights.

Nice car!
