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

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...

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!

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.
