Default Kaminari hood finaly on car.

Well, my car is finally out of the shop (took long enough). Complete with new Kaminari hood, new fender and new stock bumper. I really wished that my buddy club 2 front would have fit, but sometimes I guess things aren’t meant to be. All the paint matches because it was all sprayed together.

Got rid of my neon green side graphics lol, The Kaminari hood has excellent fitment.

Sorry for the bad pics, all I have now is my Razr cam phone lol, and all say it because it’s true, these pics don’t to my rims justice, so I will have to get like a disposable cam to get better pics lol…….

(click the pics to see larger)






this pic makes me laugh because the guy you see holding the bottle, started a fight back in high school with me, and I knocked his a$$ out, lol and he had to work on my car cuz his boss told him to (guy with the hat)




Oh ya, they also painted the hood jams and did them in a clear coat, and it looks great. Better than that dull paint from the factory.

i park under a carport, but while driving in rain i guess id have to deal with it lol.

i was there when the hood was put on and it fit like a glove the first fitting, my body shop guy said its's the best fitting aftermarket hood he has ever seen.

well its kaminari and they have just about the best reputation for good fitment right out of the box. imma get this same hood too eventually. and i dont see rain really being that much of an issue IMO, isnt the hole in that empty space in ffront of the header. im sure if it was at least a small problem it would be posted here at least 50 times.

hood looks out of place imo. but i know you'll eventually get a kit so it doesnt matter. kinda glad too that its not CF. im sick of seeing CF. also, finally glad to see the graphics gone as i'm a fellow NB owner.

yea that big hole right there sucks! why cant our bumper cover just keep going over like the xA
I'll eventually have a NB kaminari hood with the RS3 front and rear lip and the GFX sides.

and i never think i said anything about your graphics but i have glanced over that some people just didnt like them. I thought they were very original and were well above of a comment to rip them off or anything similar. :p
