I'm not usually into this stuff, but the CF hood looks good on a TL. Nice!

How much did this hood set you back? I was thinking about going this route instead of paying $$$ to get all the little rock chips fixed.

you should tint the hood so it matches more. did it on my jetta front ended 20th and it turned out awesome. looks like an oem painted hood at night and on cloudy days until a street lamp or the sun hit it, then it looked like body colored carbon. hard to see it in the picture....
in the sun:

shade(winter 4x4 mode, dont mind the fender gap):

Word and in general, painted CF > bare CF

Looked better on Allons car. Sorry...just being honest. I don't think there's enough contrast in NBP to really show off the Carbon Fiber.

I like the look-it's a good look on a NBP. But I'm a sucker for Carbon Fiber. The Carbon Fiber trunk will really complete the look.

Looks good. It would be considered ricy for some colours, but its subtle yet aggressive on a NBP

If the trunk is cf then it would flow better. But it doesn't look bad at all.

crackhead prices

i just hooked up the AZ family with my parts... i managed to sell EVERYTHING in 3 days

honestly, i didnt think it was going to look good on NBP because of the contrast, but i think it looks bad ass....

did you have to adjust the latch or bumpstops to make it fit snuggly?
