I've been thinking recently about getting a carbon fiber hood since it wouldn't be too much after selling my current hood, but I'm wondering if it would look good unpainted with the pearl yellow. I personally think it would look nice, but does anyone have any opinions/pics to share? Also, I was thinking about wings too since I don't particularly like the stock banana spoiler and I was thinking of this one:

But lower (5" vs 10") and shorter (56"). I think it follows the lines well and would add a nice effect with the carbon fiber hood. Do you think it would be tasteful looking, or tacky?

Also, is anyone interested in buying a 2g hood, pearl yellow, in perfect condition (not even a rock chip), if I sell it? It would be easier to sell it local, since then shipping wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I agree with Malice.

The hood is a reasonable choice.
The wing looks like ASS, IMHO. Too close to the ricer's -- especially with the metal strut towers.
:mad:

I would hope that most 3S owners would like to distance themselves from the average rice look.

Again, IMHO...

Funny enough, I actually saw a wing that looked almost EXACTLY like that picture tonight at the gym.

Some guy had it on his RSX (base model). Seriously, it looked silly. I have got to say, the struts looked really lame.
It is partly the fact that they are steel/aluminum whereas the rest is fibreglass/plastic.
