Looks nice. I gotta paint my headlights SSM too.

I love where you put the NOS and UniChip controls... Have you even put a cup in the holder and inadvertently fired a shot of NOS?

your car looks hot with cf hood. got any more pix? i was thinking about one, but i was afraid the cf would stand out too much from silver. i like to be subtle when it comes to looks. and how much you get it for?

i can assure you, it looks nice in person. i dunno that i would pay $200 for the kit, but i got it for $85 shipped from chris the french chef.

i took some pics w/o the flash. that always makes teh pics look like shit.





notice the little piece around the steering wheel controls

The console looks good. But I'm afraid around the gauges might be overkill.

i could try that. i really wasn't planning on leaving this hood on all winter. if i painted it half and half i would need a different surround for my silver hood.

i've also thought of painting some of the cf hood, including the leading edge by the grill surround. i may play around with it a bit.
