The effect is the same regardless of the application. You're choosing apples and oranges vice realizing the similarities. Did you miss reading what I wrote concerning the full CF pieces and not the wrapped ones? Guess not, once again you choose to see what you want. What would you sue for? More often than not that poor schmuck wouldn't be able to afford the cost of your medical bill, that's why YOU should have proper coverage vice having to rely on someone else's.
Any other response is just feather fluffing on his part. Anything else he says I'll find some criminal charges in it and sue! /end

I think CF parts usually look good, but wet CF, like 99% of the hoods/other body panels/pieces ADD weight... A CF hood weighs more than a stock hood unless its dry CF which I think costs like $2k~... Other than that a hood may have vents which is beneficial, but besides that, it's form over function...
Same with any other aluminum/plastic pieces on the car, if it's wrapped CF, it's form over function... I'd rather cut holes in my own hood like Spohn... His hood looks legit |

I consider myself a CF whore myself, I love it lol.
I think it can be very classy, I had a CF Hood and trunk on my old prelude. There were weight savings there, but with such a car I also felt a big need to make physical appearances to make it look good On my Z, with such lights doors and stock hood I don't see the need weight wise, I have added side skirts and rear spats in CF and hopefully the ING+1 lip. They also go great with my 40th Anniversary color scheme wise When it comes to CF, I just care that its real CF...I don't like the fake looking vinyl wrap stuff.

Cracking is not good when it flys threw a window. There is a reason old timers call carbon hoods decapitators. Aluminum bends and holds together for the most part, the coating not the carbon sheets themselves frags and seperates. Dry carbon a safer choice, wet carbon, no so much. To be honest IIRC I have yet to see a factory made car that runs carbon fiber, use wet carbon in any impact areas. Always been dry from what I have seen. I definetly can be wrong through. Not something I ever cared to try to pay attention to.
