Thanks, hopefully I can get the top portion painted soon and shave the emblem in the front for a clean look.

Mike, your car looks awesome dude. Now if you would just UPS that hood over to me, I think your car would look much better.

I was gonna get the first one of those, but decided against it. One chip and you're screwed. At least with fiberglass, you can repair it.

Always a risk involved with cf anything.

Yeah Shine auto has quality stuff. I will do the test fitting this weekend and will post results on here.
I'm still debating whether or not I should do canards. Mass confusion going on here, lol.

I might have to make the holes prior to getting the cf canards. If I don't, i'm sure the body shop has to sand and primer the indentation of the holes to cover it up while painting.
I'm sorta confused now again.
