What do you guys think?

Personally, That red and CF don't jive. Those hoods are pretty bad ass though. I'd eliminate the NACA duct from the front of it if it were my design. The louvers kick ass.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan of that hood.

ummm this is the 2nd gen section???

red and black do compensate each other but he need a carbon fiber wing, and or door handles, need more black on the car than just the hood...

well said scott, hence the 2nd gen car in one of the pics hee hee i was just excited so i posted the 3rd as well :) i personally love the hood, you really have to see it in person to get a better view/feel for it its light as shit like 4-5lbs

The 3rd gen is pushing a ridiculous amount of hp over 380 hks K*n Tociko .......... its my buddies Phillip Martin, mine is the 2nd gen :)
When his blow off valves go off and that 2ndary turbo kicks in, its a rush to say the least and a hell lotta fun

BLACK and red... yes Graphite (aka funky charcoal) nope....

The hood has too much going on to be shadowed in another darker color against the red car. makes it look goofy like that.

All carbon fibre hoods should be painted to match the car, or the car should be painted to match the hood.

It's a pretty nice car though!

Dude I love that hood!! :drool: and it looks good on you car!!!

Mu humble opinion!!

BTW - No need to paint the hood :D

if only the FD was black :drool:

Is that a stock plastic AST I see??? Up behind the BOV, haha that would suck if it cracked and you got coolant on that brand new hood - lol

hood needs to be painted.

I'm here to vouch for the red FD (philips) - that guy has the NICEST engine i've seen. you have to see in person to appreciate it. he has put SO much time and effort into cleaning, polishing, rebuilding his engine ,etc.... show quality engine that is actually driven and auto-x'd.

nah.. just get some 18's and youll be fine. Id like to do the same.. i have a black car though :)

Really nice fit, that thing looks like it fits better than stock!

Silver 93, you have a perfect point, and i know cause ive seen it in person as well, phillips RX is amazing the detail and the cleaness of it is remarkable, his knowledge of the car is equally remarkable, and that car is a beauty and fun as hell Kudos to phillip on an excellent car/hood/engine :)
