Carbon fiber is black

um, just a quick note, if your looking for weight reduction, check the weight of the stock parts to the CF, my buddys wrx's stock hood only weighed a couple lbs more then the CF one, but that was an 02, so maybe theres a difference. But if you want it solely for the look, then go ahead, but for weight reduction, theres a lot better ways to spend the money.

Carbon hoods aren't worth it imo.

You could get a catback for the price of a brand new cf hood and be happier with your car.
