Carbon fiber hood?
Would a carbon fiber hood look bad on a silver C32?

My problem would be to find a carbon fiber hood with a weave that is worthy of a Benz. Sticking some 3rd rate unit on a Civic is no crime, but defacing a C32, sacrelige.

BrabusCClass has one on his C24K. I think it can look nice, but the problem is finding one with a perfect fit.
