I was talking with a coworker of mine and was telling him that a lot of rocks keep hitting the front of my car. I told him that I think it would be a good idea that i get a carbon hood so you do not see the marks. He told me that he had his carbon hood on his old car for a while and due to the rocks it looked like someone hit the hood with golf balls (meaning the rocks messed up the hood). Are there any carbon hoods that not prone to such dents (or not as many dents)? Also, where is the best spot to get the carbon hood from? I want my window washer so it has to be someone that is offering the holes already cut out.

Also - i was thinking about getting the matching trunk and painting my car hood black to match. What does everybody think? I have a silver tc. Maybe someone reading this might have a picture? In my head it sounds like a good idea. Plus the same kid was saying that the higher on your car you can remove weight the better ....meaning the trunk and hook being lighter will make my car faster. feedback anybody?

Never heard of a cf hood denting... cracking the clear coat or chipping it yes... but not denting it....

there is no way it'll dent it golf ball size. It'll crack before it dents
