Dude i think ur car looks very nice. You've gone the right way on alot of things including the tails, hood, strut bar, and future plans. Change them headlights and get some slips and it will look pimp!

for some reason, I think the black surround on the fogs looks great! I think you should get a black lip (cf to match the hood :naughty: ) to bring the front bumper down a little and compliment the silver/black contrast. I think some diy black housing headlights would look great too.. especially with a si grille. When you get wheels, keep 'em black. Hell, maybe even lightly smoke the tail lights.

I know I see cars like this all the time, but for some reason, yours gets me excited. I think it looks good, and could look awesome with a little work.

Thanks I appreciate the comment. Do you know if it is possible to fix the damaged spots pictured above?

It just looks like the gel coating that goes over the CF was damaged. The hood should've been shipped with two pieces of wood bolted to the holes that go on the hinges (this is what it should be resting on, not the corners of the hood). The hood also should've been shipped vertically with the latch side up. I'm pretty sure that any automotive body shop would be able to fix it with no problem.

Hi,

Yes it can be fixed I'm a glass man. Private message me and someway to contact you via phone and I can walk you through it. It's no biggie and can be fixed like it never happend

MotoYoko... take a look at my post and you will not notice that my hood is carbon fib becuase I painted over it but still gives the light weight that I was looking for , for the speed effect.

I decided to put my stock ones on for now. I want to do a DIY on the headlights but I am scared that I will mess them up so I am not going to do it. I would pay someone to do it for me.

That damage to the hood is pretty bad, I would have refused it and asked for a new one the day you received it. Now, they could blame you for damaging it during installation, however, I highly suggest you call whoever you bought it from.
