i would say do it. i like my carbon fiber hood, you can look at my gallery and check it out since i have a blue car as well. id say if its vis or seibon then you will be good to go, just make sure its not a cheap ebay one.

First, post up some larger pics.

Second, just get the hood and have it painted to match your car. That way you get the lighter weight, and your car still looks the same.

i like real carbon color...not just people who paint their hood black to fake it....i also like cf hoods painted. I like carbon..lol anything thats lighter has the potential to make your car faster, and i like things that make me go faster.....it will look pretty decent reguardless if you paint it or leve it carbon.

do it, it will look sick. Buddy of mine has an 2000 SI as well w/a carbon fiber hood, looks great. Also if i were you get some black housing headlights and maybe some H.I.D's thats all. keep the rest stock.
