OK fc guy in the FD world... lol

I dont want to say the wrong thing but my .02 is this..

I never liked that style hood, and painting carbon fiber IMO usually never seems to be worth it (especially if u have a stock alum hood and goign to carbon fiber normally u dont gain much but looks)

On your car.. (since that is what we are talking about)

I LOVE IT..

it looks real good, the hood after being painted looks MUCH BETTER KUDOS TO YOU SIR!!!

Looks great and thx for sharing.. u have alot of patience for waiting 8mo though

btw that hood on an FC.. I never liked..

With a vented hood you indeed do gain alot. Maybe only a pound of weight but oh so much is the cooling improved.
