I dunno...

It's just not my cup of tea. Seems to put way too much in the car.

But if you like it Matt, that's all that matters. I just prefer a clean-looking car.

Nice hood matt. Don't paint it please. Keep it as light as possible. =)


Consider a cf trunk lid as that would not only delete the wing but some of the weight of the trunk lid as well.

The car looks great Matt. For $150 you can't go wrong with the hood. If you ever change your mind you can always switch back. That hood is gonna be great for the track this summer. Post pics when you get the 03 headlights and grill surround-that will make a huge difference.

Don't like it on the silver, but to each his own.

i got them from a local tire store. i think they are ~ $300 each. i'm not sure where you can get them.




i took the hood back off because i went in to the dealer to try to get my headlights warranteed. i'm getting new lights, but i don't know if they will let me get the '03. if not i'll clear out the new '01 lights and paint 'em up. i'm going to get an anthracite grill surround as well.

then i'll put the hood back on. if i don't like it i'll paint the hood, possibly leaving some of the CF showing. maybe like what pimp said.

it only takes like 20 min to swap the hoods, so whateva.

Smart plan Matt. The '03 lights will look good on your car.
