My 5th gen need a new hood (hail damage) and I was thinking about going CF.

1. Will a CF hood look good on a bourdoux (maroon) accord?
2. How much weight do those things actually save?

thx:thumbup:

 

The weight saving isn't going to actually gain you any noticeable performance or gas mileage, it's more of a justification than anything

it'd look good on a bordeaux red IMO. Maybe you can get someone to photoshop a CF hood on that color 5th gen or you can find a pic of a red 5th gen with a CF hood

 

Yeh I think that would look really nice. Just make sure to get one with OEM mounts and latches cause Hood-Pins are stupid IMO.

 

it'll look nice check the galleries theres bound to ahve an accord in there with a CF hood in the same color as ur car

 

If you want the racer look, it will look great on your color. All depends on what look you are going for.

 

CF on bordeaux will look really good. ive seen it before and it looked really clean.

 

CF is nice@!!!

 

Itll look good.. I think on 5th gens you save about 15-20 pounds.

 

HaHa, that is exactly how I am justifying it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought it would look good too - But since my wife has to pick out my clothes for me, I wanted some other ppls opinions. lol

 

Yeah you tell me that the first time your hood flies up in your window and breaks it along with the other damage it will cause.

:noobs:
