Looks nice. You shouldn't have painted it though....

Well to me it takes away from the look of the CF hood. It's nice don't get me wrong, but I feel it gives the car a more unique look w/the full hood(not painted) in CF. You could have flipped it even more by getting the CF rear lip spoiler.

Maybe it's me, but I'm noticing that everyone that I see who has a Cf hood on there TL's...the hood doesn't seem to fit perfectly. Is it only me?

If i could find one for my 2gen I would leave the full hood(not painted) and look for a nice gunmetal w/polished lip(like the Axis Hiros) or vice versa in 19's and CF rear lip spoiler and call it a day. But your ride looks good playa......

for the record lembowski didnt do any of the paint work. But we did spend 3 hrs working on the hood trim and heat reflection mat together before putting it on his car. it was his idea of the colors and how he wanted it done. I'm just his dream weaver. LOL.

with cars that have drastic body lines on the hood and bumper like the 3g tl (except on white) it kinda looks like ass if u don't paint it. For instance. When I had the hood on my car before paint i think it looked like shit. But after I painted it and put it back on even with being silver on my black car it looked dope.

I really like the grille a lot, nice work on that.

milk man

looks really good must say...very clean and simple thats the way to go and the cf lip and trunk lid wld look hott

i dont think they make decklids for our cars,it would be dope if they did though.

How much lighter than the stock hood is the CF hood?

lembowski

iTrader: (1)

Its pretty significant. We didn't weigh it but it was very light compared to the stock hood......people say its 20 pounds less but Marty and I both thought it had to be less than that!

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

yah,im thinking maybe its the type of hood u got,or maybe they built the under skeleton different than everyone elses cause his shit is light

dragonlord

Finally someone matched the lines up! I always thought that painting the whole hood mismatched the grille.

For my - it looks perfect!

erick3

darksom1

hey bro, the car looks hot man! love what you did with the hood. deltaboxxx, great job man! looks like you got some skills there. lembowski, after you get your headlights done she's gonna be even hotter! cleared w/silver cant wait to see it in person at a meet soon.

lembowski

iTrader: (1)

Thanks bro, the lights are going to be Painted by Jnc the same polished metal metallic as my grill and pin striping. The Type-s tails and sides are the only thing left to accomplish. I just want everything on by the All California Meet

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

thanks for all the compliments. I really spent alot of hours on this hood with prep and modifying. I wanted matt happy. I think I succeeded.

darksom1

I'm seriously thinking of getting a CF hood...seriously...

lembowski

iTrader: (1)

When we had it on Marty's car it didn't look too hot. It it was painted something like this then I think it would work nicely, but not just a raw CF hood

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

yaah check out my other hood thread it looked like total ass. But when it was silver it looked good.

LSonDubz

wow.. i love your car

jumbosizeme79

that would look sick on a wdp,

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

yea. i think cf on nbp, just looks discolored.... i dunno... i guess the contrast isnt there like with white, silver, or yellow....

not to

but yes jumbosizeme79, it does look sick on wdp



and you know, if i painted it like lembowski... it probably would look really good

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

then everyone would accuse you of trying to copy him like they do about erics car when someone likes the same thing :rolls eyes:

But it would be cool if u did it allon. Mail me your hood and I'll hook u up LOL.

darksom1

I agree...it would look discolored on NBP...I also agree with delta that the painted CF's look better!

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

darksom if u look at my other threads u will see one about my hood and it has pics of my nbp with matts hood before I painted it. It looks like crap.

chris80i

Where do you order the CF hood how much do those run? My hood is stratched up pretty bad daym cat!

ayethetiense

shoulda had the roof paint while u were at it. a nice gloss black... that'd look sik!

deltaboxxx

iTrader: (1)

I told him I'd do it if he wanted.

LoveMyTL-S

Looks like a great job. Love the CF hood on SSM.

lembowski

iTrader: (1)

I'd never "paint" the roof just because I think it would hurt resale down the road. I was thinking about the overlay but I'm iffy
