You definitely picked the best of the bunch, BBBT
Never having dealt with CF parts before, I have what I hope isn't a dumb question...
How hard are they to paint?
I'm not a fan of the CF look, but I do like the hood style on BBBT's car. I'd consider a hood change, but only if I could paint to match the factory color.

for me CF only looks clean on a black car... If you need to paint it its just like painting a Fiberglass piece. The prep work is smiliar. If youre getting the hood like mine, may I recommend that you leave the fins in CF so that you have that little CF highlight on your hood. It makes it a bit different.

techincally yes... although i remember that the cover did have a channel to let water flow through quite easily. Still i dunno where the channel leads to. I need to get back on you regarding that. I miss my car, its been missing for a week!

That is a real nice hood, one of the best I have seen. Don't really go for the CF hood look, but that one is pretty sweet. 750 is a good price for a hood, Adam, will it be around that??
havabooz, good idea on the rubber strip, a good seal for the hood would definitely help in any aerodynamic vibration.

Pricing should be right around there, probably a bit less. We'll do a package with shiping (goes by truck sine it is so large) as well as the hood pins.
I'll be painting mine

yeah sorry i mean vents... the vent area, it would look sweet if you left it CF and paint the rest of the hood.
