Got my CF HOOD TODAY!

It came in 2 weeks early too! The Hood quality is outstanding, it is clear coated (but yes casp, the edges need to be painted) and there are no predrilled windshield squirters or latches. The quality is perfect and the mounting we will have to see. For $460 shipped to my work, i am VERY impressed! Looks like there are 3 of us with hoods now. O yeah pics and install will come this weekend, gotta finish my stereo system first guys!

no there is a u bolt for the latch, hopefully its the right side. I am talking about the latches that attach the hood to the car. The hood is very light, much more than stock. My brothers FI hood is a better quality, but this hood it just as light. Id say 12-15 lbs max

Congrats!! Do they make the hood pins with a carbon fiber finish?? I'd rather have the pins then a gap. Perhaps it would not look so obvious. Post pics when you get it on.

yeah, I have some wquestions about the fitment? What is this about the edges needing to be painted? Any pictures of the edges that need painting? Are there any major gaps or anything such as that?

Also, I will not be puttin anything like this on my car by myself. If I take it to a shopo would they be able to do something like this for me? As in put in the windshield squirters? Alignments, and fix the gaps? Thanks in advance.
