I went to pick it up but the hood need to be checked by customs first....(I live in Canada)
Anyways i can't wait....i don't think i gonna put it on until after winter. -35 celsious today !!!
I'm not trying to hate, but, if i had a carbon fiber hood, i'd paint it the same color as my car. I guess i'll just never "get it" Not sayin it looks bad or anything, i'm just real anal about the whole all one color thing.
totally hear u. i think its looks kinda cool but i'd rather drive around a bit more unnoticable. the stock hood is back on already. i just wanted to take some pictures cuz someone asked for them.
the hood fits good and is much less flimsy than the stock one so it flex's less when your driving.
if you were gonna paint it the same colour as the car then you wouldnt want to waste your money on a carbon fiber hood.....because all your getting is a fiberglass hood with a couple of layers of carbon fiber on it.........dont get me wrong this does add to a little bit of the strength but........to paint over it, its totally not worth it at all........
Steeb! you bought a carbon fiber hood and dont like it? and took it off? Are you selling it? If you are how much... depending on how much i might be interested in buying it!

I got my CF hood today, and it looks mint !!!
it was pretty expensive (CAN funds, shipping, taxes...) yet im very happy with what i got. <p>I would just like to thank Jarid for all the time and effort he put into this group buy ! It was worth it ! My silverstone Mx-3 will look awsome with the cf hood some black rims !
