Default 2011 W/ A53KR TruCarbon Hood installed

Hey guys,

I finally got my hood installed. It wasn't to bad as far as hard work. There was however a lot of adjusting to do so it was on and off several times to reposition the hinges. After it was all said and done the hood fit great but wasnt perfect. That is to be expected from any aftermarket body part though. It is still unpainted right now but ill be getting it sprayed as soon as my quarter window scoops come in. After that its time to save for a pully/tune/CAI combo.

Pictures... click for bigger shots.

Wow... that is sick. It looks great unpainted, so I'm sure it will look even better painted.

beautiful hood! I definitely would do some sort of paint job to show off the carbon fiber a little bit. I couldnt cover up all of it! lol
