Default Pics of my Redline with new Ings+1 cf bonnet!
So, after looking at carbon fiber hoods forever, I finally settled on one. I ordered this the first week of April, and it showed up this past Monday. Friday night a buddy and I installed it.

The hood is an authentic Ings+1 Type II in carbon fiber. I also installed the Aerocatch locking latches to keep it held down.

I was told that the hood wouldn't work with my Carbing strut bar, and sure enough, it didn't fit. I gave Brian the go ahead, and he started cutting a bit at a time until we made it work. Look at the top side vents, and you can see a bit of the Carbing bar poking out!

The hood has also settled slightly since Friday night, and needs a bit of fine tuning, but it'll be perfect soon!

Thanks to Brian Krah for the meticulous work and marathon install session!

Anyway, on to the pics! Thanks to my buddy Chris Wold (dvsidboy) for the shots! As always, all feedback is welcome, good or bad.

Yes, must say that is a combo I don't usually like, but you made it work. Good job. Looks great and kudos to the photographer.

Nothing bad to say about your Z at all. I think you did a great job with your combination. I especially love the shaved emblem and the black (chin) bumper finisher.

Car looks awesome Steve, thanks for letting me snap some shots of it...we need to get a full shoot setup once you get more of your plans worked on.
