It's CF I believe and would probably be a better choice than trying to fix my stock hood...
You guys like? or is it a too ricey....?

is the hood actually straight?

looks jacked up

+1

could just be since the fenders are so out of whack, but it looks wierd.


if you got it and painted it, i think it might look OK, but if you just left the bare carbon fiber, i don't really think it would look that good on your car. youve got a clean car and that would just kind of detract from it IMO

I like how the battery is dangling out of the car.

i'd say if it was like $50-100 pick it up, if nothing else than you can resell it if you don't like it, anything above that I'd say no especially since it was in such a bad wreck who knows if that hood is structurally sound anymore CF is brittle as all hell.

*edit

I'd recommend painting it to match your car as well as it would like rice if bare CF

I personally think its rice, and money would be better spent else where. That belongs on a Camaro not a Sebring. Besides why even ask on here, if you like it get it. How much does he want for it?

working on the how much part. But I just wanted to get some input, I always take suggestions for appearance mods.

I don't think CF hoods will bend so it's either broken or not, I think... someone can clarify this...

I would probably get it painted.

I also understand the camaro part, but imitation is the best form of flattery... :D I would have a camaro if I could...

Don't Optimas have a lifetime warranty? I ran one in my old car and had no complaints. I have to agree though, you're car looks better with more of a sleeper look. I'd rather have a car that's faster than it looks than a car that looks faster than it is.
