yeah i dont know why but im leaving the hood un-painted for now. just giving it a try i guess... i can always have it painted after if i change my mind about it.

for now im also leaving the side scoops carbon fiber... i saw it done on alot of FD's when i was over in japan...so im giving that a try too.... more pics when i get it back this wekk...

yeah got it off ebay. fits AWESOME. nice even gaps and a good latch. 1/2 the price of a real one too... the finish on it is great, but i the wiper-sprayer holes had to be enlarged a little to fit the sprayers...

yep still factory silver. if i were to change the silver, i think i would go with a mercedes silver or the honda s2000 silver.

the new factory-color paint that the body shop just put on looks great though. i cant wait to get some good pics after its all cleaned up and on the road.

I remember that armadillo.

Great looking work so far. Now I would just want to see her with the wheels on but she already looks great.

Did you get the carbon fiber rear bumper also? And did you notice any noticeable weight difference between stock and cf pieces?
