panda, not a good look imho. your cwest front lip is too big without aftermarket side skirts and some sort of rear accent whether its a lip or full bumper replacement not to mention its hard to pull off an aggressive lip like that with oem 18's. not sure why you didnt go with an asuka rear hatch instead, im always puzzled with people buying oem cf hoods and hatches although the hatch makes sense even in an oem style since it saves quite a bit of weight. as for the oem hood, it saves you zero vs the aluminum stock hood. some sort of vented hood would have been ideal especially since you are F/I. a bit of tweaking here and there and i think the car will look better but as of right now it looks ok.

There was something wrong with him lol he came out of his van and started yelling at me. He said how am I gonna get the glass out the hatch if it's not on the car and I suggest that we should do it like the last cf hatch I had done and he didn't wanna hear it. Then he wanted to wire wheel the "paint" on my hatch. He didn't understand that the cf weave wasn't paint. Oh well I found another place. If I knew ppl in florida were afraid of cf I would of kept my mastergrade hatch. Did your glass guy sand to prep the surface or wire wheel it??? The first time they just sanded it and it held for as long as I owned the hatch.

My guy used a "primer". He said it was a better way to do it without hurting the finish
