Boerne, about 15 minutes north of me. I posted video of me playing on the airfield about a week ago.

Quick answer:

1) Zero
2) Its Carbon Fiber, and the world has to see it.
3) Where is the La Choy?

I just recently bought the hood and the car hasn't been painted yet.

Thanks.

Boostless refers back to my sequential days when I would have a new boost problem nearly every week. Car never ran right when it was sequential .... I love non-seq.

Not too sure about appeal but I have seen several painted CF hoods with cracks all over the paint. At high speeds some CF hoods dimple, kill aero dynamics and crack their paint jobs. Personally I prefer alluminum or fiber glass over CF depending on design.

Thanks.

I was noticing the some of the clear coat on the hood has some stress lines in it so I'm wondering what it would do to a layer of paint.
