so you had a bad day....
Hey won, Im the guy you sold the hood too thanks by the way it's great. I haven't had a chance to install it yet because of finals. I thought that you were gunna by the Kaminari hood, what made you change your mind to the VIS hood? By the way ur car looks great in person.
i bought the VIS hood because I had no money left to buy the Kaminari hood (which is almost double the price of the VIS). i dont have the money to get it clearcoated, so i'm not using it yet. i got a good deal on the VIS hood.
the vis hood is heavier/sturdier, but the carbon fiber weave on the motorfx hood is tighter than the vis.
i got my rear powerslot kit today(major reason why i cant afford the Kaminari hood). it turns out i really injured my lower back installing the front kit (it hurts to sit and stand). man i'm old lol. so i wont be installing the rears until my back gets better. the rears should be much easier to do and I'm presuming no grinding will be necessary. i was sad to find the rears are 1 piece rotors (fronts are 2 piece).

i plan on painting my calipers gold because i love the stock gold brembos calipers on WRX STI and G35 coupe sport. of course the tC's 1 piston calipers wont look as nice like those 4 piston brembos.


I've also been considering painting my engine cover like the one below. everyone seems to paint it red or blue or white or some other single color. i want to do something funky and different. i like how he shaved the "DOHC VTEC" and "H" emblem.
