#41
Hey BHK1004........Whats the quality of your cf hood like ???? I bought a cf hood from Performance Nissan and the quality Is really bad alot of milky blotches under the clear coat...I almost went with a Seibon hood,wish I did now.

the quality is amazing. Looks gorgeous in real person, the weaves are just amazing. The fit was a SLIGHT bit off. The hood wasnt wide enough. But it wasnt wide enough by like.... half a centimeter? you cant even tell. The people that installed it for me said it has to be the best quality CF hood he's installed yet. I was gonna go cheap and just get like a 200-300 dollars oem style one but... havabooz... had a cheap CF hood that started to bubble up and I decided to just dish out the cash and get quality.

I hate to say this, but the first thing that popped in my head was not RX-8 but a Audi TT.....I'm so sorry. The side view looks great, head on is what I don't like..just my opinion. As for the hood, you got CF for a reason, don't paint it. Take Care

i saw his car in person last night, i think it looked good. it is def. different.
ben- i didnt realize you came all the way from NJ...it was a shitty night to come out to see cars, cause noone was there! i had to leave early so i dont know what happened, but i hope it was worth it.

thx for hitting me up. im guessing your Chris? it was fun, was expecting more people but it wasnt bad at all. I met a couple of people that seemed cool so it wasnt a bad time. hopefully ill roll out next time when its really full ^_^.

as someone said, if you like it, thats all the matters....don't let others tastes influence what you do to the car in terms of looks. No need to justify your likes of it to others.....if it works for you, then cool!
I get a similarly mixed reaction to my Z.....people on the board had very little to say about it, yet in person, I get nothing but looks, compliments, and wows. Best part, at least to me, is there is not a single other Z out there with my combo, which was the primary goal for me.

I dont believe there is a replica balsarini bumper, I got mine used off of GiovanniB. Hes a member on this board for 600 plus shipping. like I said... the hood looks better in person and will not be painted. Also ive noticed that in pictures the huge inlets are more prominent. When its in person, it looks different.. just the top parts cause of the angle your looking at it. Im still thinking the pictures arent doign it justice.

You picked a nice hood/bumper combo, but definately paint the hood.

hey Gio wuts up,
the hood ended up coming out and fitting really well. The body shop had to do ALOT of body work that thing to get it to fit rite... only problem. the silver seems a WEEE bit off... not 100% sure but it seems like its maybe just a shade lighter than its supposed to be. I mite have it repainted in a few months but we shall see how it settles in. There is no way im gonna paint that hood... looks just 2 great. Anyways thx for everything. latz
