Um that idea is allready been taken. The 2003 vette I believe did that. The kind with the blue hood and the white with red stripes in between the white and red stripes you can see carbon fiber stripe. It looked good so give it a try.

Definitely not a new idea, just one that isn't that common. I wanted to do that with my hood, but alas no carbon fiber ZRoc/Stinger hoods.

Ya, they do make a WS6 cf hood and yes that would be cool. I have seen pics of a blue one with the same thing. Not sure where though, but it has been done and it looks bad ***. Some people actually called it rice! LOL

Yeah, not a new idea, but just not done often. C5 Vettes did it on the LeMans Blue Anniversary Edition and a couple people have done it on the hood scoop with SS hoods.

I think it would look awesome. If you did it and anyone called "rice" on you, tell them to stick it up their asses. Carbon fiber was used on race cars and such before the little ricer punks even began thinking of the idea to use on their moms' Civics.

As said before... make it happen.

carbon fiber sounds like a good idea. I can imagine it would be expensive though
