Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior oem carbon fiber hood?

Has anyone ever seen an oem carbon fiber hood



with red carbon fiber


Does it look good? Would it look descent?

yes i have seen an OEM carbon fiber hood but... look at the black one..there is no hood scoop on it!! and in red..it will look bad on your car

I had an o.e.m carbon fiber hood. 2 actually one was 1 piece with a beautiful bottom and the other one was 2 piece with edges that were horrible. Consider buying a good quality hood with roll edges such as v.i.s or oe tuning those usually have perfect weaves and u.v. coating to rid from fading.

good to hear RJ, im plannin to get my Carbon Fiber hood next month, by the way, VIS got OEM style?

they have had OEM style Carbon Fiber hoods...

Yea this guy is selling them on ebay for the celica here

and for 95 more dollars you can get the red carbon fiber. I was just wondering if the hood would go with my black red them...or would the hood make for to much red?

You can also pearl coat your hood if you want it to color match your car. I've seen some pretty awesome hoods with just a beautiful transperant pearl.

Here's a pic of my friends Carbon Fiber Dinan valve cover with a green pearl and sweet clearcoat.

Found a pic of red carbon fiber oem hood...thx to isaac and the updated gallery

Not a fan of the red on red...i thought it would look good but now i see that i'm not liking it

word..looks horrible but if you like it then it looks great

uh idk if that is a red carbon fiber hood...I think it's the reflection of the red in the car making it appear red.

(not me in the reflection )

isaac don't you ever use woods when you reply?
do you have a red Carbon Fiber hood or not?
cause it still looks like red reflection.
or were you comparing your black carbon fiber hood to the real red Carbon Fiber or something?

you're CRAZY!
a little homestar runner humor.

that is definitely not a black carbon fiber hood. and it looks bad.

that is a Carbon Fiber hood with red kevlar weaves in...if im not mistaken

In a lot of professional racing events in japan, use RED or BLUE carbon fiber wings, hoods and other automotive bodyparts because they have less reflection than black Carbon Fiber and they draw less/hold less heat than their black counterparts.

PLUS - black doesnt show up well on camera... this is why you see mostly photographs of brightly colored cars.. and hardly find photos of black vehicles
