Got a great deal on a carbon fiber hood but the catch is i have to go and pick it up. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to just drive the car to the car to the location (approximatly 120 miles) put it on and then drive back home. Will i mess anything up by doing this.
I checked the weather forcast and it is suspose to be clear and cool.

As long as you have a place to stick your stock hood you should be fine. Putting the carbon fiber hood on will take 2 people, so as long as the seller is willing to help you're golden. shouldn't have any issues, but probably would want to put some hood pins on in the near future.

The best of both worlds...
So what everyone is telling me is that it should be ok to drive the car down without the hood and install it there.
hmm i think you should have metioned the part with out the hood before we started saying it was a good idea.
first off i'd check the laws to make sure that it's legal (i don't think you want a ticket for that). secondly i would definitly check the weather, because rain + no hood = flooded out engine. just my humble opinion.

if you do put the hood on, make sure you dont drive too fast coming back because your hood might fly up w/o hood pins
Yeah though about the law thing after the fact and decided to just rent a truck and go down get the hood and then come back. Much easier plus i won't have to worry about messing up my car or running into any unexpected showers.
Poor man can't afford engine problems.
But thanks for the advice people, helped me out alot.
