Still have to order the parts. They should be here in time for the convention.:woohoo: I'm out in Washington state; other coast. I'll post pics when I have everything installed. Can't wait!

Well, I guess you are entitled to have your own opinion on what you think that would look like, but you should know better. When you see a CF hood, on a SHO, that is any color but black, you know it cost an additional $75 to have the coloring done. That's not cheap or lazy. When a hood costs $635, which is why there are not a lot of them out there, why would you think it was cheap? Dude, you're not making any sense at all. :confused::huh:

Eh? Sorry you took offense to what I said, but like you said I'm entitled to me own opinions.

FWIW, I paid $550 just to get my Cincy cowl painted, so while $635 isn't exactly chump change, it's not really that much.

I personally wouldn't put a red hood on my blue car, nor a orange hood, or a green one, or even a silver one. Black or black CF is one thing, but anything else should match the colour of your car IMHO, or it will give off the impression I stated earlier. And I'm willing to bet my car on the fact that I won't be the only one who feels that way.

In the end it's your car though, if you like it that's the only thing that matters. :thumb:

Sorry about my earlier post there, DDakRT. Didn't mean to jump down your throat. It's Memorial Day, and I work for a small company, which means I had to work today, and work sucked. Kinda caught me in a funk, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you.:banghd: I also would not put a green hood on a red car, but with white, I thought, it would be hard to go wrong with a neutral color, such as white, black, or silver. Anyway, thanks for your input.:beer:
