yeah, i think it looks great. it went on with minimal effort. had to drill out some holes and shave some things down but, otherwise a 2 hour install including the grill and headlight rings. oh, no paint for now. not for at least year or so.

You are totally the CF KING!! WooHoo. Now I feel like a lose with just headlamp rings and Ram Intake. mmm, what should I do???
Looks fantastic. I am impressed that it comes with all the mounts for the hinges, hood latches, headlamps and all the electrical and plumbing found under the bonnet liner.
cheers,

Just to note that these hoods are not really CF. They are glass matt with about a 3 oz CF cloth on the outer shell. They are still nice looking but more then 2 x the weight of a real CF hood. Still a good amount lighter then fatory.
Look nice. Sweet car

true...thats why it was only $715. lol
its just for looks really and plus, the idea of taking any more weight off the front end is just silly. at this point a lil weight up front can only help.

dang you rival gimmie more pix. LoL
no but seriously it looks hot. Is there any way you could snap a few to maybe show the contrast between the black and the cf. I am thinking of this hood however with a black roof and black mirrors and red everything else. im scared it will come out looking grey.
