hood only....personally I like "lower" spoilers that hug the hatch, and maybe paint the bumper vent black inside too.

the hood would look cool if it the area was carbon fiber... but black looks a little to 60's muscle car. Not that it is a bad thing, but i just don't think it goes with the look of the Z.

are you going to strip the paint to reveal the CF weave? If so, go for it. And do I understand you correctly that you are waiting on a CF hatch? Are you going to paint any part of that?

Juan... your joking about that wing right? You steal that off an accord? I only say this with the best of intentions... even though I have no right to talk, having a large wing myself. NO FLAT WINGS. Its gotta have curves that match the flow of the car bro... but.. thats my opinion.

Toby- Call Alain at professional auto body he has worked on Mdracers car and a handfull of other Z owners. ( He was a custom TT Z owner for awhile) 703-751-4224 hes in Alexandria.

Mike - Yeah the spoiler is somewhat of a joke. I do think with as aggresive as my car looks I would though need a very aggresive spoiler.

The hood...yes.
The wing...no.
The dork holding the wing...remove him from the car immediately.

Juan,
I vote for the hood as you have it chopped, and I would vote for an agressive wing I think the DoLuck (I believe that is the one on the green) or the one on the white one just below the green would look nice and really round off your car as it is. But that is a big no to the honda split spoiler, however Jess was looking for a spoiler...

I would have agreed with this statement a few months ago.... but now.. not so sure. I think that it depends on the car and how agressive a look the owner seeks. Or if they are tracking it
