Car looks great!! Could you post a pic of the bottom of the hood? What type of front bumper do you have? Sorry for all the questions.

^I would post a pic of the bottom of the hood, but I have to fix it first, as I bought a defective hood, and the majority of the defect is on the underside, so that's gonna have to wait lol, but the Bumper is Shine's Amuse with FRP diffuser, and thanks for the kind words.

Looks nice! Just a couple things though. Hows the fit and finish? Any mods to the hood to make it fit correctly or was it just a direct swap?

^Fit is perfect 100% dead on, and it was just a direct swap.
The finish on my hood is actually pretty bad, but that's because I purchased the first one produced and their first defective hood, and I really didn't care because I plan to paint it anyways. But I have seen the other hoods that they are currently manufacturing, and they are spotless and gorgeous pure sex, kinda makes me want to have paid more to get a perfect piece.

Ok, thanks for the timely response! I'm actually waiting for the double sided version to arrive at my body shop. Can't wait to have the hood installed. By the way, did the vents or the underside contact the strut brace in any way?

Car looks soo sexy!!! and although the pics are great and joe is a great photographer you must see it in real life to compare the fit and finish of this product and how much sexier his car looks now =D

Dam I saw the double sided one at the shop that thing was pure sex and flawless kudos to you. But the hood does not touch the strut bar at all, and I also have the 5/16 spacer, so you should be safe.

I LOVE this new hood? Were you able to see the new '03-05 Asuka hood too? The guys at Asuka are great, this hood is awesome.

Vince, I was told they were just finishing yours up !
