alright well i go this hatch and hood i am debating on buying. i have a cf duck bill but trying to figure out if i want the cf look.

cf is not completely useless. but i think i like the oem look better. (basically the same question jagermeister had except for an ek hatch)

or i was thinking of picking up the lightweight hood and hatch and painting them to match the car... idk discuss please

dont buy CF to just paint over it! if you like oem keep it! its NOT that much of a weight loss! i like CF hoods and possibly duckbill but thats it anymore CF is too much for me!

I kept my cf hood and got rid of the trunk. at first i really wanted it. afterwards, in my case atleast, it became a nuisance. It would give me problems when opening and shutting.

On hatches it does look sick as fuck, especially on white. so that's a tough one man. i wouldn't get it just to paint over it, that's pointless.

I agree with all of you but in my case I would get CF hood and hatch and paint them to match my car. Looks oem and good weight savings.

But on hondas looks good like what freddy said on white ones. Looks soo nicee

And moshing soo true CF is soo 2001

So it all depends on you man.

i voted cf!! ftw x2 make it your style if you like the way cf looks like and you like the waight reduction then cf ... but also keep im mind cf is alot more falshy so if you dont like to call alot of attention stick to oem and plus you can never go wrong with oem... imo
