Please keep in mind I am not a professional photographer.

I worked on it alittle more yesterday.

I added the carbon fiber spoiler and tinted the tails, reverse and mirror lights.

I think you should get your $375 back and rate the Ebay seller you bought it from with a big thumbs down... Please put the stock one back on.

any particular reason why? Just wondering if it just not your tastes or you really feel something is wrong with it?

Anyway thanks everyone for the comments so far.

IMO, I just don't think it flows with the car at all. Mods are supposed to "enhance" the XB's design. For example, I know 808Custom's is working on a new grill. Although he's modding the grill, he's not taking away from the XB's original design. When you look at the 5 Axis kit, it flows really well with the XB's design. That hood looks like something the manufacturer would try to mass produce for a Civic, Prelude, XB, Dodge Neon, or etc. regardless of the car's original design. Just my opinion...

Fair enough. But this is just the first mod so far. I have the new grill in the mail and working on the next items on my list. I agree that as of this moment the FLOW is not there. But in about a month everything should start to flow.

are the air vent on top of the hood for real?? If so, watch out for rain or when you wash your car. Especially if you plan to change your airbox....

Can you post a pic of the inside part of the hood. I'd like to see the inner structure part of it. Are the scoops functional? I'm not a fan of Stingray Metalliac, but I'm sure with a drop, lipkit, and wheels that thing would look really nice!
