Message one hand just about. CF is great for race cars but not so for street cars IMHO. CF is lighter, but if you drive at higher rates of speed, it will flutter around, so you may need hood pins which is rice if your car is not a track car. If you really want a functional hood, and you have high underhood temps (usually if you own a TT, not an NA) then you could get a functional hood scoop/hood vent/louvers or something. But, the Z has classic lines, there are many members who have tastefully done modifications to their hood. Try to go that route instead of a CF hood. IMHO, it just looks A$$ to have a different colored hood than the rest of the car.

I eat rice, I don't put rice on my car!
