If you're unsure about painting the hood why not have it wrapped in silver vinyl? Live with it for a while and see if you like it. I'd you do get it painted if you don't take it off. Best of both worlds.

Carbon personally only looks good on a black car.

Did kinda like the unpainted vents thou. Not my style but it was better.


My cars are always cleaned up and blacked out.

I was thinking about that but I'm waiting to get bored of the current color first which won't be happening anytime soon haha.

after much self debate.... put em back on! your car looks like 5000 other FRS out there, way to assimilate. ive always thought the frs headlights look very birdlike. the eyelids, while controversial, hide that. why do you think everyone blacks them out? so i say dont waste ur money. PUT EM BACK!

It was either blacking them out or eyelids and I said that I'll put on eyelids till I get bored of them and then black them out, guess I had my fun with them and time to black them out :/, might be coming up with a new idea who knows.

I believe it's the Seibon TS style carbon hood.

It's not my hood. It's another member here on the forums, can't remember who.
But you should be able to get it from any vendor here who sells carbon hoods. I'm about 90% sure it's the Seibon TS style hood.

I'm planning on getting the same hood down the road some day and painting it to match my Ultramarine.

I bet this guy does not have an FRS, any way the eyelids need to go, the hood is ok if you like carbon keep it, if not paint it, just the eyelids have to go men!

You're perfectly correct, I do not have an FR-S.

Car is built to have a track look, sometimes tracked too so yeah yeah function > form. Crappy pics attached:








dude in my opinion this is cool you did what exactly my plan for my 86 ad I saw you in al qusais a few days ago night time, its your style so do what you want with your car. two thumbs for it.. did you register it again? for your cf hood? where did you get those canards?

Here's mine....



The carnards are the worst decision I've ever made for my car lol jk. Though I do wish they were a lil more on the functional side but it looks cool i guess. I'm diggin' your vented hood, I been wanting one for a bit, I would paint mine body color but that's just me. None the less nice car!
