Default 04z-lip kit/oem fenders/nothing major--opinions on hood-






A-keep oem hood
B-oem HR hood
C-vis:HR style cf w vents


Which one to do?
Keep the smooth looks w the HR?
Cf w vents to extract heat -but too aggressive setup?
Or oem DE hood currently? (kinda out of list)

I don't get it-wrong sec? Mods always on me. So I posted like that. Ok. Well I do like the cf hood but not sure if it'll be too aggressive.

OEM looks fine, no need for vented unless you track the car heavily or have FI

Thx waizz. Idk what in the world I was thinking about the post. So tired.

But I am FI-no tracking. Does help w heat regardless. I'm leaning on just doing the Oe HR-color matched for the moment. I'm iffy w fitment also on the CF.

Angry




So after 2 weeks of dealing w a slackass from carolina paint and body (I will never go to again), the hood hasn't even been touched. Oh has it pissed me off--so I figured it out myself and she will be on the car today. Only 1/2 day of work and shes gona be on. Ill prob spray the entire front sprayed to blend it in since I have enough B17 left(front end/fenders). Later on I'll spray the entire car after I decide on what to do w body parts. Be back w pics.

On the ride----curious if I should color match the air duct and mold that or leave alone. W the gold wheels now I'm not feeling any other colors on it and want a smooth look.
