It looks really good, and is distinctive, much better than one without all those goodies. How does the carbon fiber hood work in normal operation -- does it still work as a stock hood, i.e., opens by itself and stays up?

Tuls,
Great aerokit, painted arches and painted CF hood while still retaining white wheels, roof and mirrors. Thanks for the pictures.

What colors could work? Certainly Black, solid or better metallic.
Pepper white with black roof.
Chili Red with any roof could work accented with CF bonnet scoop and side mirrors or CF dash and shift ****.
Dark silver or Pure silver with black roof or body colored roof.
LY/black roof with CF mirror covers
New colors- Cool blue and orange- might be nice with a CF bonnet.

Somehow I don't think Velvet red or electric blue would look quite as good.
Maybe EB/B and anthracite or black wheels.

I think if done right the EB can esally work...one of my Ideas for the CF hood would work great...I will have to mock it up in photoshop...

I do agree though....they velvet red would be an interesting one....maybe just a similar style to what I did so as not to throw off the lines of the car.....

Thanks for noticing the Aero kit as well....I was/am really excited to have gotten it done all at once!! Had to wait longer than I wanted to do it that way but it was worht it....
