Don Nguyen | 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber vinyl wrap on gray RX-8's hood
This gray / silver Mazda RX-8 came by to have me vinyl wrap the hood of his car with the 3M Di-Noc matte carbon fiber vinyl material to cover over his factory black hood that he had on there. The owner of this car drove up to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from San Diego county to have me do the vinyl work on his car. The weather was a bit over cast that day, so the carbon fiber weave in the vinyl did not stand out that much when photographed. From further away, the vinyl appears more of a solid flat/matte-ish and then when you get closer you start seeing the carbon fiber weaves in the vinyl.
As comparison, the eyelids on the headlights are real carbon fiber pieces.

I can dig it and I'm no CF fan myself. But it looks better than most CF hoods. What can one expect this to cost? And how does this stuff stand up to car washes, sun exposure, etc?
All the blue painted pieces inside look horrible though.

Yes.

Most CF hoods weigh more than the stock alumn hood. They're wet CF with fiberglass.

Dry carbon is the only way to go if you wanna save a bit of weight.
Besides that, the biggest functionality is the vents, but again, that depends on your setup in the engine bay whether it would help cooling or not. No point to get vented hood if you have stock engine bay...unless you just want the look.
