I admire your ambition and it looks like you have done a great job with your mods. The look isn't for me, but to each his own! Party on!

hood looks good

car_lost

**** looks hot bro! how was the fitment of the hood? are there any uneven gaps? i love your ride.

Bxscig

why not paint the hood to be the same color as the car? How much would it cosT?

Raheel

TIGHT A$$ CAR!!!

LOVE YOUR BLACKED OUT HEADLIGHTS!

I am diggin everything but the rims..

But to each his own

scalbert

Nice, to each their own though.

Stock exhaust manifolds with that hood and engine cover.

EvoRTL-S

thanx for the replies guys....

str8acura...the hood fits bout 95% cos the probs is that i drove in the highway without the hood pins installed and the hood flaps up wanting to go up...now with the hoodpins the hood stays nicey in place...no more flapping...the only problem left is that the hood sticks up boths sides a lil(compared to the fenders) where the hindges are...it looks like, its the water guard that is pushing it up(the rubber stripe)...but i rather leave it in cos i dont want water goin into the engine bay...owells...other than that i'm happy with the hood...i got alot of turned heads...and its only been a day and half having it on....

hmmm....i'm leaving the stock headers cos in the very near future...the mod i am doing wont need an aftermarket header...
it has its own exhaust manifold...ahem *cough* forced induction *cough*

thats awesome man... i've been considering getting a cf hood but i didnt know what it would look like and i have ssm. but now i know exatly how it would look and it looks awesome! also, as for the wheels... my guess is they are 17's and light as hell. which = better performance. how much does each one weigh? also, cant wait to see what you've got under you sleeve for the forced induction. supercahrger or turbo?

Red Hot TL

Wow, very nice!

shimbo519

get some new rims.....

EmuMessenger

The hood looks really good with the SSM.

bigman

dood, ssr gt3's in gunmetal with a polished lip, that gold really throws it all off. But your car looks hot as hell.

fsttyms1

love the look of the hood!

what springs are you using .. that drop is PERFECT! pls. PM me if you get a chance w/ the specs!

car_lost

he's got vcoilovers... nex ss i think it is.

r10apple

So, is Cherie-Roberts.com safe to pull up at work?

I'm into cars, and certainly you've done a lot of work to yours. It looks pretty sweet, in a very different way. It is certainly very different that the rest of those here, that is for sure! With your upcoming FI, I hope it will be as fast as it now looks...

I'm gonna leave the header comment alone!

EvoRTL-S

PeterUbers....hehee wells str8acura was sorta right...i was running NEX SS coilovers but i swapped them out and put back my H&R Sports on...i wanted to have a softer ride now...but i'll be putting the coilovers back on for the next carshow in the bay...besides i tend to slam it ...looks hella good but not really practical in Frisko tho...if you did want to see my car with the coilovers on, the pix are lurkin around this site...just do a search...
the specs on the springs are on this site but the TL's are heavier so they do drop bout 1/4"-1/2" more for our cars...also i have a system in the back so the rear is lil lower than the front...hope this helps

r10apple...hehee its safe to pull up to work i think...but i did have a few instances where some peeps thought it was Cherie's car....funny...i'm helpin her rep her site...she's a nice lady ...
yup i wanted to be a lil different from what others do their cars...and thanx for the props...laters

those wheels belong on a subaru

car looks good but i give it a 7/10 cuz the wheels just kill me.

Type S Lady

Wheels are for the WRX I think but the hood is awesome. Keep it up! I think the CF hoods look great on the ABP if your willing to be that different and the BNP too.

EvoRTL-S

those rims are like the WRX but not from them...besides Subaru's use different bolt pattern even though its a 5 lug...the rims are from Ray's Engineering a division from Volk Racing...i guess they styled it like the WRX...but if you look at them you can still tell the difference...i went with gold cos i was flipping through the Volk's catalog and saw lots of JDM cars/Japanese touring cars that were silver in color w/gold rims....i fell in love with the combo...so thats why i have them...besides i wanted to be outside from the norm...
remember to each his own...Laters

and thanx Type S Lady for the props ...

Looks good but your car got ruined with those Gold Ray's. Would have looked much hotter, oh well.

Storm Shadow

Then nobody would know that he had a CF hood. Although it's function is for weight reduction most people install them for the "racer" look. It says, "hey look at me, I have a CF hood & I'm fast!".

Eh. . . whatever suits you.

`ill*tl

Way to bring back a old thread.. :p

valeo77

hood and blacked headlights look wonderful. Especially on SSM.

car_lost

welcome to last year!

@cUr@-TL

not a fan of the wheels... silver would definitly look better (imo).. like the CF hood tho!


@cUr@-TL

Black-n-Tan

i agree with the general concensus (sp?) on the wheels. also, i know that the hood pins are functional but i dont like the look. now that the negatives are out of the way, overall the car looks damn good. personally i like the look of a partially painted cf hood (maybe leave a strip of cf in the middle). much respect for being original

KJ32

Leave the gap of the hood for heat dissipation. That's what many people do for Skyline GTR because of heat issue. It might bring down your under hod temp. Nice ride.

wantsone

i like the grill but that's about it.. the rims are horrible, and you've got too much shlt on that window. it really looked nicer stock.
