Usually whenever I see CF I always think it looks like crap, but this is really well done man. How much weight are you saving? I know the hood was pretty light as it is, but it was aluminium, and I believe that carbon fibre is stronger so this also should improve structural rigidity.

Looks good, but what is that bird claw looking thing where the antenna used to be?

That's a great looking car. Love the TRD diffuser in carbon. Is this all custom work or did you purchase them from somewhere?

Damn that's a lot of CF! Now you just need some wheels that fit a bit more aggressively to finish off the look

I'm assuming all of this stuff is just a carbon fiber wrap? Can the OP please elaborate?

Just saw a full carbon fiber roof replacement in the commercial classifieds, so it may not be a cover.

I second the weight question, any idea of how much weight you supposedly have saved with the roof, hood and trunk? I've been thinking about all three and I'd love to know whether it's more than for looks :p
