It is very cold here today in Orlando, 30 degrees. I had just started the car BTW, so no "You're smoking" comments

Nice, when you drilled your holes for the hood pins, did you drill outside/in or inside/out??

Hey Phoenix, I'm still up in the air on what to do, paint it or not. Matching Vintage Red isn't so easy, just look at my front bumper! I think I'm gonna be repainting my car eventually.

You have to paint the hood. The whole black hood ricer fad is very hondaesque, especially for a car like yours that seems pretty classy outside of the black hood.

very nice hood. . . and rims. . . and car. . . good choice.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut. . . . . . . . . . . .

i think you should RETHINK the front opening/mouth mod thingy. . . have you noticed that it makes the very bottom of your bumper roll upward? look at picture 3. . . the 99spec spoiler points. . . up. i dont remember it doing that. bah, just my opinion though. . .

It must be a VIS hood. It bows up at the center so there is a big gap about 0.5" right in the middle. Every single one I have seen has that problem. Nice CF laying and clear coating but the fitment isn't the greatest.
