The a-pillars fit a lot better than I expected. Yeah, I picked up the fenders from him. They don't fit as well, but I expected that. Nothing major though since I am painting them.

I can't wait to see it painted. Are you painting it solid, or doing the vents black or something else? I'd get the CF one, but at nearly twice the cost and practically (if not the same weight) it's hard to justify.
Here is the one of the C-West Z's with what appear to be painted vents (Sorry for the huge pics):....
Where did you pick up the hood, and how was the wait time? I just picked up the Long Nose front, and will be picking up the sides and rear within 6 months. Hopefully I can rock this hood as well. GREAT CHOICE!

I picked mine up from C-west directly in Lake Forest, CA. That is the exact reason why I grabbed this hood since they only get a small number each year. Post pics when yours is put on.
keep up the good work.....and yes i can´t wait to see the finished product

love the hood... and when i saw C-WEST in the title i was REALLY hoping for a long nose cwest bumper

I'm aiming for some 18's for track use. Not sure on what yet.
Can't wait to see it. I might have to throw a Type-N bumper on my ride in the near future.

Update:
Had to dremel out the OEM grille for the ARC oil cooler to fit. I also had to dremel out the OEM "intake duct" in order for it to work with the ARC induction box.
Note: The C-west hood is not installed since I removed my old hinges. That is why it looks like it has a huge gap lol.

Yeah, there are not too many guys running the ARC radiator. I can see why it is more efficient than the Koyo (better be!) since it has so many cooling fins even though it is thinner. Since I removed my AC condensor, you can actually see the ARC on the radiator ROFL! Love it so far.
Made with the highest quality materials and workmanship, ARC radiators continue to always be one step ahead of their competitors in technology. With the use of aluminum extrusion molding (Mitsubishi Aluminum Corporation P.A.T), ARC is able to obtain an extremely strong unit while maintaining a lightweight construction. The tubes use many layers in its structure to allow high water pressures to make its revolutions in the passages. With testing and many hours of research, the results are a 127.5% difference. With their use of super micro tubes, they’re able to stabilize the water temperature to a optimal condition for race or street enviroments.

I'm planning on painting it silver with some black vents since I think it will match well with my wheels etc. I'm also going to flush mount all of the vents to give the entire hood a cleaner look

Best A arms on the market to my knowledge. Another awesome choice by Rick.
