Stock hood vs C-One CF hood

[dyslexik]

Is the C-One CF hood basically the stock under bonnet skeleton frame with carbon fibre as the top outer layer bonnet?

Anyone know the weight of the stock prefacelift ZZE corolla hood and the C-One carbon fibre hood?

C-one Carbon bonnet (non facelift) = Approximately 4.5kg (pure OEM weight: approximately 10.5kg) B)

i don't really think its worth the money. 5kgs isn't really much of a difference. better off getting work done on the engine. carbon fiber bonnet is pretty easy to crack too.

Thanks for the opinions on the cf hood. I was 50/50 with the decision. I think I will be contemplating on this a little longer, as CF hood on a white car just seems to flashy and racer like.

Does anyone know if the bonnet scoop of the c-one cf hood be detrimental in the air circulation/air flow in the engine bay? It might affect the natural flow of air coming through the front bumper vents and grille.

I dont mind the white/carbon look, teamed with black or bronzed wheels, its pretty pure JDM. I wonder what people would have to say if "fast and furious" was never made...

Speaking from experience, CF bits are pretty damn nice. The skirts I bought are pretty thin- thin enough to see the light through the skirts if you held them up against the sun.. its not a moving part and I havent had any serious knocks on the skirts so I cant really tell you how weak or strong it is.. but nonetheless its holding up perfectly.

The CF front lip has taken a considerable amount of abuse due to the steep angle of some kerbs and Ive even removed the front lip to see the damage its sustained.. and its coping very well! Worth noting that the front lip is thicker than the skirts.

Whatever reason you want to use to justify buying the stuff... if you can afford it and it seems right in your own mind then get it.
