But how would the paint look on CF?

The CF on these parts would look fine with paint, the coating is pretty much mirror finish, these arent dry carbon bits so there is absolutely no actual surface texture.

Can't wait to see it painted. I think it'll look sick

How is the weight compared to the stock hood?

looks hot I like the trunk lip I think u should paint it also

Supermassive · 12-02-2012, 12:24 AM

After having the car out during the day today, I think the CF lip is taying CF, it finishes the rear end of the car and having that contrast there just looks sick. I keep getting a ton of people saying they really like the hood and should keep it CF, but I just feel like its too much. Different strokes for different folks they say.

One thing that is still up for contention on whether or not I should paint it is the roof spoiler. Ill post up a few pics and see what the concensus is in another thread that Im gonna start.

How is fitment with the gaps? Some companies just can't get the gapping correct.

How long was the wait time for your delivery? I ordered the OEM CF hood on black friday but haven't heard or seen anything in terms of shipment yet.

Supermassive · 12-02-2012, 03:45 AM

The gaps are pretty much spot on, the passenger side gap is a little wider at the back of the hood but you would have to be as anal retentive as I am to really notice it. It's probably just due to me slapping it on real fast before i had to go to work and not taking the time or effort to align it perfectly. The contrast between the black CF of the hood and the white of the car does make the gaps seem wider though...I measured versus the stock and they are almost exactly the same. I'm gonna try to get a bunch of really high def pics this weekend with everything installed so people can get a better idea...just need to find a photo hosting site that won't resize my photos so small like Photobucket does.
