Installed my CF Hood today.
It was a pretty easy install, but I'm still messing around with the fitment. I also need to hook up the windshield washer stuff too. I'm definately happy with how it turned out though.

I agree - this is one of my favorite styles, too. nice job.
where'd you get it and did you like the service? every now and then I get a hankerin' for a CF hood.
I know you have a completely different environment in SD than we do here in Phx, but I'm a big fan of Rain-X. I took my wipers completely off and only wish I didn't have the spray nozzels.

Looks good,I got mine awhile back no real fitment issues just didnt like the way it lifts up on the front corners at 75+ I went with pins for safty sake.
No problem with the finish either just keep it waxed.
I got mine from E-Bay and it it made by AIT racing.

every time I want CF pieces on the exterior of the box, I have to remember that these pieces will start to fade, dull up, and turn that commom CF yellow after some weathering. That is the only thing that keeps me from going more CF route. But again it is up to the manufacturer to decide how well they want to make the clear coat and the quality of the CF weave/sheet as well. Too many variables for my satisfaction- sadly

i noticed in the pic that there weren't any windshield washer nozzles is it a real pain in the butt not having them cause what if you get like crap on the windshield the nozzle would of simply sprayed the windshield and wipe....
that's one way of doing it.....really they don't have cf hoods with the nozzles already..
