    pinturahan ng flat black yung hood ko.
    pero yung iba maganda talaga
    kahit hindi carbon fiber.

    Yup, the Plymouth Laser had a black roof to differentiate it more from its Mitsubishi Eclipse twin. In fact, they're triplets, the third one being the Eagle Talon. Today, only the Eclipse remains.

    One car that had a carbon fiber roof is the BMW M3 CSL. They shaved off some weight by removing a number of electrical features present in the standard M3, and opted to infuse a lighter top.

    This started with the muscle cars of the 60's, this was to reduce the glare on their long massive hoods.

    I used to think carbon fiber hoods are simply a weight-saver, while fake ones are for plain aesthetics. Never knew this reduces the glare deflected by sunlight. I've driven lots of cars but never did I complain of hood glares.

    OT: ang liit lang pala ng spoiler noon kesa ngayon...at importante dati sa rally ang mudguard.

    back to topic: ahhh ganun pala yun. may gamit rin pala ang mga flat black hoods...akala ko purong pang porma lang. pero...hindi naman nappansin ang hood sa mga maliliit na sasakyan deba?
