Thanks for the compliments guys ... I too is a CF ***** ...

I got it from my friends shop called High End Performance... I thought I have to wait a few months for it but so happen that they have it in stock yesterday when they went for a C-west main office...

fitment was great... hood is a full carbon fiber ... need to see it in person to appreciate it ...

For someone who wants to order it ... just pm ... Thanks

I like it. How is the fitment? Looks like there is a slight gap on the passenger side and the front looks raised a bit.

If it got painted properly then no, Mc Larens bodies are entirely made of CF, i dont see any jaggys, CF is supposed to be painted, people dont paint it cause it looks cool....yeah and for $1700 you would think thats DRY CF, but i highly doubt it, DRY CF costs soo much more cause of the process it has to go through and the time it takes to make it, im sure its just WET CF.

I really like it...but I'm biased. Saw it in person once and loved it. But a bit too busy for my theme for my Z, so I went with Seibon instead, even though I have the full CF C-West lip kit.
