Ok, so it's pretty safe to say that you are doing your self a favor when you swap you stock hood for a new aftermarket performance hood. The question now is, should I go with Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass. Well of course, the answer is to go with a Carbon Fiber Hood.  Here's why:  

One of the primary reasons to upgrade to a carbon fiber hood is to reduce weight. Whether you are using Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber you will be greatly reducing the front end weight of the car as compared with the stock OEM metal hood. But if you are serious about getting rid of every additional pound possible, true Carbon Fiber Hoods weigh even less than Fiberglass. On top of this, Carbon Fiber helps absorb the heat produced by the engine. The cooler the engine, the better it runs.  

Secondly, studies have shown that Carbon Fiber is more durable than Fiberglass. Although both are strong, the bonds formed in the process of creating Carbon Fiber Hoods are tougher than Fiberglass Hoods. This means that the Carbon Fiber Hood will hold up longer when subject to the exact same conditions as a Fiberglass Hoods.

When it comes to styling, custom hoods have a lot to offer. Vented hoods and cowl hoods all give an eye appealing race look to your car. Both Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass hoods have several different options to choose from when you are looking for a hood. Carbon Fiber Hoods are available in several different looks, styles, and feels. Just as much if not more than Fiberglass. Plus, you generally do not have paint the hood as the carbon Fiber as a aggressive look right from the manufacturer.

Carbon Fiber Hoods and Fiberglass hoods are quite comparable when it comes to price. They generally are not far about when pricing, and in some occasions, Carbon Fiber Hoods are better priced than Fiberglass.
