If I had CF on my car, the whole car would be CF. I could do it too, everything but the doors and the roof

Not for our cars. My CF hood is heavier than the stock hood. The stock hood is so light when I took it off, it felt like it was 2 lbs.

I whited out the plates just in case some people get some ideas about taking my car w/o my permission. Just a safety precaution.

But yah. Some like it, some don't. I like mine alot.

Kostamojen, fiber images reskins doors for the 02+ imprezas, if you REALLY wanted to i'm sure you can get them to do a custom job on a gc

If i could get the whole body in CF i'd do it too, the E46 CSL's CF roof is too damn sexy, i'd at least want the hood (have it) the roof and the trunk done in cf for continuity.

I think CF looks fine on white,black, and maybe silver, but it just looks a little wierd on blue, i have a JBP and i think it looks fine.

Yes silver and CF looks great. I got my CF hood for free that's why it's on my car, otherwise I wouldn't bother buying one.

Gotta, is your grill abnormally shaped to allow air into the engine bay?

I used to have a zerosports grill. I got tired lookin at it for a while, so this will do for now. And I think the yellow covers would look great on a black WRX, post sum pix when you do get them installed gd grrrl.

I guess I'm a sucker for vanity sometimes. Rub it in why don't you. JK.

I like it and that's why I got it. If you don't like it, I don't care.

It was worth it 2 me. :banana:

Actually CF does look great but the stock hood is already lightweight as it is. Now if you damage stock parts, that's also a great time to upgrade to aftermarket parts, like carbon fiber. If I had lots of money, of course I'd buy CF parts. I'm just trying to be reasonable since I'm poor
