Please don't tap on the hood. It disturbs the gerbils.

Usually not a fan of pinstripes, either, but can see how it would look real sweet on your ride, with the other mods you have, and in that kind of layout/shape you mocked up there - can't wait to see it done. Its funny, nearly everything you've done to your car I wouldn't personally do to mine, but I love it so much - it's so well done & surprisingly works really cohesively! Fantastic work.
That gear boot is sweet! Haha... such a cool idea!

I swear the car I pulled my CF hood from had a centre wiper blade arm.... Like Im certain of it, I may even have a picture. Could it be possible that some USDM MX3s had that as an option? Or must that have been a custom job?
