Got my Carbon Creations MPR hood

[Warl]

Fits purty damn good. Except it came without any OEM placement like the plastic seal thing in the front of the hood. Or placement for the windshield nozzles.

So to paint match or not that is the question. Also anybody know how to setup the jets on the windshield wipers?

Nice! That carbon fiber weave looks 9.5/10 in quality from the pics. I always look at Carbon fiber hoods and the look like a child laid the weave its so uneven

DON'T PAINT IT. That hood looks sweet.

 

[DavidRam]

Looks awesome man!!!

 

[BogsRam14]

That looks awesome. I say Leave It as is because well carbon on black looks ****.

 

[WalterG]

I wouldn't paint that either. Looks good with the black truck!

So how much??

Don't paint it!

So how much??

765 + 135 Shipping. The guy gave me a discount by phone!

So does anybody know an alternative way for my windshield wiper jets to work again? I've heard about changing to the GM wiper arms so they attach to the wipers them self.

The question is did you buy it for weight reduction, or to have a carbon fiber hood. If for weight reduction, paint it. If you bought it to have resin as deep as the ocean to show off your weave (until it yellows of course) then leave it raw.

If it were mine, I'd paint it, immediately. Raw carbon hoods belong on $200K supercars and $2000 **** box ricers.

No way to cut in holes for the washer jets?

I have yet to look up on cutting carbon fiber. So I'm not sureeee

 

[CMil527]

Hmmm, I recall cutting holes for jets in a cf hood on my ''00 BMW 328ci back in the day so it can be done. I had to cut lil access panels on either side of the underside of the hood but u can make it work!

damn ohiogrown is always negative, carbon can go on whatever you want.

Id leave it alone and if you want washers drill holes if you don't the GM whispers would be dope. my old work truck was a GM and its pretty trick.

if it starts to yellow in 20 yrs from now paint it not going to happen while you own it

 

[jpro]

Don't paint it. That looks awsome the way it is!

 

[JustMove]

The stock aluminum hoods actually weigh the same or less than most carbon fiber hoods don't they? I say don't paint it, but whatever you do it's your truck. Looks good!

 

[xrsman]

Don't paint it, how many other Rams do you see out there with this? Makes your truck one of a kind! Plus it looks wicked!
