Carbon Fibre hood or no?

Hey guys so i'm deciding on whether or not to have carbon fibre hood on my yello 458 Italia, or just the mirrors and skirt and diffuser?

Same color (too lazy to take pic)


Carbon Fibre Hood


Everything Else


Thanks!
T. Dale.

If you want your car to look like a 1995 honda civic then yes please go ahead, but for real it will look terrible

The weight savings would be negligible and unless you're tracking the car, you'd never, ever notice a difference.

Also, it would look fvcking terrible and everyone would laugh at you. Even more than they already do.

I'd love to see some proof that the car is yours. I'm guessing you're a huge troll. Please post a picture of the 458 with "Control It owns my nuts" on the hood and then I'll believe you.

You should sell your Ferrari and buy a Lambo and put carbon on that.
