    anu po ba maganda....

    CF Sticker Hood- Mura than real CF but....ung life span nya...

    Real CF hood - lightweight / pricey....

    nagu2luhan lng kc ako... gusto ko ung CF sticker for my Lancer EX pero un durability nya nka2tempt kc mas mura siya kesa Real CF....

    ung Real CF nman since heavy ung body ng Lancer it reduce the weight of my Lancer tpos kht cnu tumungin maganda kc totoong CF xa than the Sticker pag inopen mo unghood maki2ta mong sticker lng...

    and kung cnu me alam ng price ng Carbon fiber hood sa Lancer EX pa post n rin Thanks...

    If you want performance and have done most of the other typical stuff to achieve performance (like I/H/E mods, ECU upgrades,) then body lightening would give you some benefits.

    But if you only like the look of CF, maybe you should just get the sticker and just risk that some people would see through the deception and give your car a giggle or two.

    Or just save your money and be happy with your car's hood as-is.

    Generally vinyl stickers meant to be used to cover a car will not harm the paint.

    But you have to consider that after a few years of exposure, it is possible the color shade of the paint under the sticker will be different from the rest of the car.

    As for how long the sticker will wear out, you better ask the seller, there are many levels of quality for the sticker.
