Is that a carbon fiber hood I spy?
What supplier did you go with? Were they easy to deal with?
What are you expectations for how the carbon fiber hood will look once painted car color (I noticed it has been primed). In other words, will it hold color and luster with equal durability as the metal surrounding it?

Looking good so far.
Thanks for posting pics.

Yes, it is CF hood. You have a good eye! I got it through ebay about a year ago. I can remember the supplier but I'll try to find info on it. The only thing I did not like about it was it did not fit to the curve of the back(latch side). A little to flat but it taken care off. As for paint once it is sealed and prime up they should not be any problem matching the rest of the car.

THX for your input on the CF hood. If I go that rout there are several vendor choices. DeftRacing seems to be the lowest cost. They're out of LA.
