It looks good if your going for that look(everyone look at me!!). I think you must also have wheels and have it dropped for it not to look like rice. Stock suspension/wheel sc's with CF hoods look goofy.

it looks good on more tuner type cars... not so much on luxery cars...

i think it looks unfinshed and too racer looking for an SC... paint it.

i would only get a cf hood to save weight... i dont even know if id leave mine unpainted even though my car is black

i know there can be a way that we can make a lexus stay looking luxury with the hood. When u see it in person it looks pretty cool. I get a lot of compliments on the hood...

will look good, i'm doing exactly that (car needs paint first) and then adding some white vinyle accents similar to the vertex D1 car's red flames that help blend it all together...
