Hope you guys like the parts!

 

looks really nice. how's the fitment?

 

Fitment is surprisingly good for a first run on production. The top left corner of the hood, next to driver's side front glass needs to be pulled over to the left by slighlty slotting the bolt holes under the hood for perfect fitment, not a big deal. The spickets for the window spray need to be filed a little for fitment, but this is true for most all carbon hoods. The hatch went on with virtually no trouble at the shop! However, there is no hole pre-cut for the wiper, this would have to be drilled. Personally, I did not want the wiper, it looks a little cleaner. Overall, 2 day install (on account of rear glass) but well worth it if your looking for the cabon style look!!

 

Like CF, but why the scoops in the hood?

 

box is lookin hott dude!!

sick wheels and Gratz on the Carbons

 

dude that is uber seks, now drop that biscuit

 

that's pure sex!!!

 

exactly what i was thinking. i dont like it, its too much.

 

not really feelin the scoops, nice work though

 

PLease shar eknowledge of RIms Been Lookin and Now LIKING them!! Have a blackberry and Man Curious.

 

I'd like the hood if it weren't for the scoops or maybe if they were done differently. Not feeling a cf rear hatch but cf wing might be cool.

 

Those wheels are made by "Sport Max" Edgeracing.com sells them. Here is the link...

what kind of exhaust is that?

 

How much lighter are the hood and rear hatch compared to stock?

 

Where does water go in the scoops?
I live in the Seattle area, lots of rain, and those scoops look like a real water trap, whether they are functional or not. If they are functional, where would water go? If they are non-functional, seems like a couple of good sized pools on the hood.

your car looks like a panda bear...lol
very nice and wut type of exhaust?

 

Exhaust is a Apex N-1 Universal ran from the cat back. It sounds like the Tc but for some reason it has a little more bass than rasp, which is always a good thing. Pipe runing back is 2 1/4", had them chop off the resonator and go from the actual cat back, not from resonator back!! It makes a world of difference in sound.

 

I like it!! How much will they be @?

 

Would have been 1000000Xs better without the hood scoops.

 

i love the scoops will give you the back flow effect keep the exhaust cooler as the air drops into the low pressure spot and for water im thinking it will drop onto the heat cover on the exhaust so yeah lol water wont hurt anything
