For me, they are trying to look cool na carbon fiber kuno ang hood nila.

One way to reduce the weight of a car is to change the metal hood to carbon fiber.

Madami din akong nakikitang ganyan, pero bibihira lang yung talagang CF ang hood.

In short, they're just posers.

Posers pretending that their hoods are carbon fiber. Nothing more.

It's interesting to note that the CF panels purchased by hobbyist tuners and street racers for their mods, are rarely made of full carbon fiber.

Oftentimes, the panels are just made of a single CF layer laminated onto the fiberglass, for the "look" of carbon fiber. Then they just leave it unpainted to show the carbon fiber weave.
