I'll go back. I was there. I guess I read it wrong. I thought they were just selling the paint. That must;ve been an upcharge for having it painted.

Thanks.

I'd stay away from the CF. I tried one on mine, and while it did look ok on black... the clear coat started to bubble up within 2 months in the summer heat. Pretty impressive when you consider the car was driven like 4-5 times during that time and garage kept otherwise. Mine was a vis racing. I put the stock one back on and I'm planning to buy a CDC shaker and the matching pre-cut Foose hood eventually. This was a complete waste of $600.

Well the deed is done. Thanks to everyone for your input. I do appreciate it. I thought I'd post up a few pics before the thread closes. I'm probably going to hold off on the hood pins for now. I kind of like the clean look. I can always put them on later if I change my mind. Doesn't work in the reverse. Also, we didn't install the windshield washer nozzles on the hood either. Re-Route the lines under the wiper arms and mounted the nozzles on the end. You can barely see them.

Anyway. Without further ado.

My buggy.

It is. TruFiber B-429. Very heavy compared to stock though. It's a high quality piece. The shop owner was very impressed. Not a lot to clean up he said but it still required a couple rounds of blocking to get rid of any possible waviness. I really didn't see any unique metal hoods. I think it might be a little much to manufacture.
