It looks good both ways, but I slightly prefer the stock hood.

IMHO CF belongs on the rice burners. Our teutonic beauties are best left stock.

I think the hood better suites the 911.

I like the idea of all carbon fiber panels/hoods because of the weight but I would paint them body color

Your car, so do what makes you happy.

Personally, I say leave the CF hoods to the import tuner crowd... See below.

Eh... I've lived with it a few days and I don't like the CF hood on the 911. I'm going to switch it back to OEM. I just think the OEM hood looks more classy. Ah well, it was worth a try any way. It only took me about 15 minutes to swap the hoods. Thanks for your comments!
