I don't like'em or the color. They give the car a wierd 80's feel.

Looks like you did a good job on the install though. Good job!

and im not sure about the balance thing. im not seein it as being a huge offset to the front right now... but i appreciate the opinions all.

Hows this for an appearance mod...



Carbon fiber!!! If i dont sell it soon to the guy that was showing interest in it(for sale for $200+shipping btw)...might be going on my car with paint up the sides to the first edge of the hood, custom latch underneath, and hoodpins. But i'd rather sell it. lol

Teej is that your hood? +1 how many inches? Why don't you want it? Damn for $200 i might have to save myself some money for this lol

But bopiela, not to put ya down or anything but i am very **** with exterior mods. I can tell that the stripes weren't put on perfectly. Don't mean to rain on your parade. The drivers side stripe is overhanging the cowl of the hood compared to the other stripe. That would drive me nuts. Otherwise, i do kinda like it... Its different for sure.

hp^

they both go over the cowl a tad at the very front of the hood, then they both follow the line of the cowl back, close, not right on the line, and both end a little bit off that line. i checked both and i think its just the angle of the pictures or the lighting that makes it seem that way. im very particular about my mods too, so it would bug me. i know what you mean. but they are very close to being even!
