Better pics instore with a camera not inside of a 4 year old cell phone are on the way.



Thanks for looking.

Also when I say "I painted" I really mean "I payed people to paint my hood"

Also also with new pics page 2

This is exactly what I wanted to do... the guy on here that sells them said you can't paint carbon fiber. And like an idiot not knowing I listened. Look at that hood. Beautiful. Now that I know I will have it painted when I can get the money again. I really love this look.

Wow, that looks very nice! Prob is, I don't want a full CF hood and would rather keep the stock hood. It needs useful vents!

I don't know how useful the vents are. I would assume that witout a way to increase the air leaving the engine bay, it's mostly for looks.
