Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it. Ive put a lot of time and work into the car. The mean aggressive look is exactly what I was aiming at. Well worth it all.

Sweet looking ride. Nice job! Think about putting a CDC Sport Bar on it.

I was like you. I was going to have my hood painted to match the car also. Luckily the owner of the body shop talked me into running with it for a month first. Carbon fiber turns heads and looks great. Only thing that I dislike about this hood is the small helicopter seed pods that drop from all the trees around me somehow get through the mess in the heat extractors sometimes and you have to drop the rain covers to clean them out.

Good job! Your car looks fantastic!

Thanks y’all.

Smokin15, I’ve thought about the sports bar but sometimes I like it and sometimes I dont. I think I have to see in person on another car first before I actually go with it on mine.

Mylocaldj, I run the car without the water trays on the hood and when its parked I put the car cover on it so that I dont have to deal with anything that falls from the trees.

I run the trays because I have LED strings tucked along the edges of the trays and aluminum foil tape in the trays to reflect the light up and out the vents.

Your car looks great. Excellent work!

Your car looks great......but......in MY opinion, the hood looks too busy with all the vents on it. This is just my opinion and I still think you have a great looking car. Just not my cup of tea.

Not the trunk, the only carbon fiber pieces are the hood and splitter
