Silly car Q's from a non car person (before the Fit)

Hi!

So I see allot of things on the forums that make me go .

I can figure most of them out by reading and asking Q's. There is one thing I have noticed on imports in general driving around, and I see it here allot. Whats with the black hood. Is that a *special* hood? Does it do something for performance, or just look good? This may sound really dumb, and thats why I put it in the newbie area.

Just asking questions, as thats one of the best ways to learn.

Thanks..

more than likely your seeing a carbon fiber hood. they are very light, and the reduced weight helps out performance

Thanks! Thats exactly what I needed.

I've posted before that I know next to nothing on cars.

Thats why I love it here, I'm learning soo much about the first car I've ever owned that I love!
