Sux man, does anyone know if I can buff these scratches out of the hood? They are so damn noticeable and I feel like crap cuz the hood was close to $700 and now it already looks like crap.
What were you expecting from taking the car to the car wash? IMO, go back to the stock hood, it looks cleaner since you don't have wheels or a bodykit to pull off the aggressive hood look. Just looks out of place now, and the damage puts it over the top

Ah it still looks nice, doesnt look near out of place as your wheels ;D

We all have our own taste when it comes to modding!

I agree, things like a cf hood do nothing to enhance the look of an otherwise stock car. It just looks out of place and like you have it just for the sake of slapping something on the car which ultimately cheapens the look of your coupe. Before modding, pick a theme that you want your car to follow and then slowly and uniformly work toward that theme. Begin with wheels, then a drop, etc, etc finally incorporating things like CF hoods into the car provided it follows the overall theme of what you are doing.
Also im glad you were able to get you seibon hood looking decent, 98% of those on the boards do not and thus they have this cf hood on their car that looks horrible like it was installed by a 7yr old. Thats why I personally would not touch that seibon hood with a 25ft pole. When modding a car its the details that matter and when things dont fit right or look of place, your car that you spent so much money or energy on becomes laughable not admirable.

As long as your happy with it, who cares what anyone else says.But me personally I would've waited till the car was more modded to add the cf hood.
