Does that hood overlay have any functionality or is it purely cosmetic?

The role of the dry carbon hood: 1. The dry carbon fiber hood is lighter than the original hood, which reduces the weight of the car. 2. The center of gravity of the vehicle is moved down, which improves the steering stability of the car. 3. The carbon fiber composite material has higher vibration damping. , It will greatly enhance the comfort of the car. 4. It make the car looks more cool and aggressive.

So it's an entirely new hood? From your pictures it looks like a piece that sits on top of the stock hood.

[QUOTE = Daniel Hunter; 8143900]所以这是一个全新的引擎盖?从您的图片看来,它似乎像是位于储油烟机顶部的一块。[/ QUOTE]

I'm going to have to agree with everybody else here. That hood looks like something a teenager would put on an old, beat up, muscle car to make it "go faster"

Howard Allen, that doesn't answer my question.

Is it a completely new hood or does it glue to the existing hood?

Taste is subjective but in this case not present.
