    I was wondering if a car with a carbon fiber hood and a cold air intake would be ok with a cover on, sitting outside?
    It will be brushed off, its just an easier way to save some money.
    Any issues do you think?
    Thanks

          From what I've heard, it shouldn't be any problem. Just make sure to not let enormous amounts of snow build up on top of the hood. The added weight might eventually crack the hood. Aside from that, don't be banging or smashing snow/ice off the hood either as that may crack it as well. Other than that, I think it'll be fine.

          As for the cold air intake... not sure there are any issues there. I have numerous friends with cold air intakes that park outside all winter long. No issues reported. After all... it IS a COLD air intake... isn't it!

          Cheers... Deuce.

            Car cover sounds like a good investment.
