OMFG! I almost fainted!
looks good, but have to ask, is this CF through and through? Im imagining not, unless your getting ready to quote 4 or 5grand.
therefore for some here that are asking and talking about painting, this would be utterly useless. a CF overlay is for asthetics only, not that its a bad thing, but it would be wasteful to paint over it.

Personally, I would paint most of it, but leave some showing (like the lower lip, and maybe a thin piece around the grill opening). There was a great looking silver M3 at the SEMA that had a painted CF hood, with just a small part in the middle unpainted, and it looked great. Wish I could find a pic of it...

I think I have scraped the funds together for the hood... Ill grab the hood before I take my car to be stripped again...

Jason, I hope you like it. The plain CF was just a bit much for me, but to each his own.

Roark... the two tone look you've got is simply awesome after painting.
So this thing is really CF thru and thru and not just an overlay? Cuz if it's an overlay, I wonder if anyone is doing a Nismo replica with just the lower parts CF'd... ?
And 3k... right?
