Dry is also known as pre-preg. In other words it's cloth that comes pre impregnated with resin from the manufacturer in spools that must be refrigerated. This doesn't have any of the problems of wet, as the resin coats every single fibre evenly and there'll be a consistent finish with minimal weight as there is no excess resin. Dry Carbon Fibre is what you want for any structural application! It's good stuff and worth every extra dollar.

I don't think that's a carbon fiber hood by Spoon because I have a Spoon Carbon Fiber hood on my CL9. It has two small metal plates on the hood and one of them with product number on it. I bought it from Japan for $900US shipped to MACAU. I also bought the Spoon (Phase) front bumper and it cost $1050US shipped to MACAU with paint.

^ wow.... sounds nice man!!..... i always wonder how the Spoon/Phase front with the Mugen side and rear looks..... since the Spoon front is kinda clean not aggresive like Mugen, but goes well with Euro R side and rear....
hey....is it true that ALL CL7/9 in HK and Macau are modded??.. my friend told me she always see CL7/9 with OEM kit, JDM kit, Phase, Mugen, Buddy club......

All the 2.4S CL9 and CL7 EuroR are came with OEM kit and most of the owners put Mugen body kits and only 2 put Phase front bumper. One is in blue color CL7 and mine one is in sliver color CL9.

I put the whole Brake Kit with 355mm on my CL9 and its very $$$$$ because it's forged caliper. The 355mm rotor looks so damm good with 18" rims.
