Carbon Fiber Hood?

Ok, so I'm doing something I said I wasn't going to do and I'm kinda going with the euro theme on my HHR. Now I'm not going to put a ricer exhaust or anything like that, but I'm stealing some styling cues from the guys over on the Cobalt forum and trying them on the HHR. As far as I know, there is no carbon fiber hood option for our wagon and honestly it probably wouldn't look right, but here ever tried something similar on their HHR? Maybe took and did a matte black hood and lift gate? Chances are I would never do it (not going to have any extra money for this type of mod for a long time), but I'm bored and was just wondering what you guys think of the idea.

i think if you did the top portion of the hood, and used something like pin striping to separate it from the sides, it could look ok?
or blacking the sides instead?

The bigger question is.... how do you have 281 posts after just over a month's time? That's crazier than the hood idea

Wow, didn't realize there was certain amount of posts one person was allowed in a certain amount of time. I'll be sure to keep my comments to myself I guess. Unfortunately I have a ton of free time on my hands and up until now I've enjoyed the community.

I'm not doing a hood mod, was more curious than anything. Thanks for the input guys...

OK first off there is no mod that is crazy,
Maybe crazy in a certain persons opinion.
Rod run can't we all just get along.
how is having 281 posts in a months time crazy?
The bigger question is rodrun are you us11slayer in disguise?
Or just having fun busting on someone
OK back to the question
How about carbon fiber stripes?:

Post all you want chefhhr. We like folks that are sociable. Friendly is better.

Uh oh. Maybe I should check MY post counter. I don't want to go over the "limit" (sarcasm intended)
