I searched...just looking for confirmation. CF hoods come in black with the "weave" or sort of "checkered" (not OEM) look to them, yes? Except for the ones with show quality finish?
Reason I ask:
My hood (black csvt) needs painting. Looking about like a $400+ job. I'm thinking for about the same $$$ I can go CF, though I can't decide just how I feel about the CF look and don't know if it's worth just the weight savings to spend the money to get it looking OEM.
Can anyone (preferably with a black car) post or email pics of their CF hood that really shows the CF (non OEM look)? I'd appreciate it.
