i have the oem one painted, i thought id leave the carbon fiber alone because it matches the wing, kinda a cool contrast. i also ordered the c-west lights and those have a carbon fiber housing.

Once you get the hood, it will look smooth.

Very Nice. All original C-West? Either way, it looks beautiful except I am not a big fan of the aluminum wings. Congrats. I wish mine looked like that.

yeah the painted hood is hung up in the garage, and the wing is carbon fiber 12lbs total package. i wasnt exactly sure how functional it would be, but after doing hard runs in the car, the drag on that sucker definetely has kept the back end from breaking as easily, and gives the front a little more push.

yeah complete customs, good eye! its ferrari carbonite silver, and the hood is some sort of concoction that i bought off a friend who likes to import rare auto parts from japan. i believe its either an older scoot or possibly feed hood but im not sure, it was on his car for a couple years before i bought it from him. yeah the wheels are pretty much temp and just going to be for track, but im not sure what set im going to get for daily driving, still some other upgrades i gotta do first . thanks for the feedback guys! by the way anyone in the so cal area want to put together a 3rd gen drag night at LACR or something? if so let me know i think it would be a good time!

Damn dude... I give you and your car some ******* props, I love the hood and think it looks pretty good unpainted... But the thought that you just had the car painted and skiped the hood give me the impression that your trying to strut your stuff - Honda style. Also not a big fan of the wing but that's just because of the Neon owners... Functionality wise I bet it provides a lot of downforce without drag, it's hard to have a better designed wing then the one you have. I really like the car though man, keep up the good work.

(PS - I am sooo jealous of that hood!)

so far under the hood there is:
-tripoint intake system
-greddy SMIC
-all new silicone hosing
-all new japanese hard pipes
-full tripoint exhaust system, downpipe back
-new throttle body arm
-unorthodox pulley kit
-EFI ecu

not a whole lot yet but its enough to sustain 14 psi when i need to punk some mustangs , and its good for just under 300hp at the wheels. but as you guys know you can never stop modding haha! so im scrapping the money together for a street port, iannetti 3mm ceramic seals, and a turbo upgrade. and like the body stuff i plan to make the turbo something unordinary thanks for all your feed back guys!
