hahaha Frank! I agree, my old man too would kill me, but I also agree with white_203, the CF hoods only look good on JDMs

think about safety.......

What would happen if you get into an accident?

CF hood does not have the same protection as your metal hood.

Don't risk your life.

lots of cars today are made of CF especially supercars. Also the Corvette are still made of fiberglass as well as the Viper's made of fiberglass body panel. Are they unsafe? doubt it. It makes little difference. In event of an accident the CF hood would bent and crack out of the way and the metal hood folds, but wat's really absorbing the impact is the frame itself.
