Default Pics of my SW

Just some pics of my car I took today. One is an old one but it's a close-up of my wheel. I think I'm the worst photographer. I'm on Tanabe DF210's and have 18" Enkei RS7's wrapped in Toyo Proxes FZ4. It's a Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood.

Thanks. If you get the carbon fiber hood I'd say go Seibon all the way. I saw some other hoods at Longo Triathlon and wasn't impressed at all. I was actually thinking of two toning the car but I thought of painting only the roof as well.

Yeah I have heard very good things about Seibon; Most of my friends have seibon hoods on their car, and they look great. Do you know if the weave is 1x1 or 2x2?

Humm. I went and looked at it and each fiber passes through 2 fibers so I'm thinking 2x2.

Sweet.. love the white accents in the interior. What type of paint did you use. Looks pretty glossy. Ya,,, I'd say paint the roof and the wing black...

Wow- that looks really good! I think the front-bumper overlay would go perfect with your cf hood.

haha. They wipe of pretty easy with some quick detailer. About disassembling everything just pull and if it wont come out then there is probably a screw holding it somewhere. The area around the shifter poops off easy and so does the piece around the radio. You have to life the dash up to get the far right a/c vent and I couldn't figure out how to lift the whole dash. But it's overall pretty easy and I wouldn't worry too much.
