Looks nice!!

Perfect choices on hood, roof, and hatch style.

From straight on, that hood style looks killer with that roof, they flow perfectly. NICE JOB!

How does the hatch fit? That's the fiberglass one right? Car looks sick!

I love it. I'm working on something similar! First the top half for me, then the rest!
Question for the hood. Did you have to move the latch system up, or did the hood lock down fine? I'm having some issues with my CF hood currently. The "U" is too short and wont lock in :/ lol.

But yeah, ***** hot. This is my inspiration!

Haha 120 LOL. Yeah, I'd get nervous too without hoodpins! Yeah I guess making adjustments to the hood latch seems about right. I think if I move it up on the car a little, then the hood U can fit fine in it... I guess I'll see.

What are you using to prop up the hood. I used the stock hood holder thingy and it looked like my hood was bending LOL (hood too light), so I just used a wood block for now..

Been waiting for this hatch to come out! Design looks pretty good... But fitment looks pretty off. Do you have any more pics of the rear? Gap between rear bumper and hatch looks huge and uneven... May have to wait till they fix this before I get mine.
