heres mine!

I say go for the CF hood! But it will be a major pain to fit, just so you know. The end result is worth it.

Well done! Very nice detail. I think it would also look good with a Joey mod on the headlights.

It figures I pick this year to finally get my a$$ down there.

I've seen the 'Tuls' machine on the boards for years and took for granted that it would be in attendance! Ahh well...

Not sure I can make the drive to Tennesee this year. I suppose I could quit my job.

Wow both look really really great. It's a trip how both show the CF in the exact same way (same amount showing) yet Tuls CF ban looks much wider across the hood. It's a trip how just the red pin line changes the look.

Ahhh, is that what you used to remove the lower motor mount?

Anyone running these from PiloRacing?
Are they breathable?
Any thoughts?

Here's mine after washing it today. I know it's not my best wash. It's one of the cheaper CF hoods a buddy found on close out from a place in NY that no longer stocks them. The VIS is your best bet for fit and finish, you get what you pay for, Mine still needs fitting work. I like the way AZblackOUT finished that hood.
