looks good from what I can see, it'd be nice if the pictures were straight and from a better angle.

Looks good buddy.

I personally prefer the painted look with just the vents in carbon, but we both have a colour that makes the full carbon hood work as well.

Think mine will be painted when I get it, but its a nice addition for sure.

Cheers.

I think it looks really good with the CF on a darker color F. I've always felt that SGM or Obsidian would make it blend in more with a CF part, and it does so nicely here. Looks really good!

The hood looks great! It makes the matte black car even more aggresive looking.
How's the fitment?

IMO, that hood is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too aggressive for how our car looks. the vents are massive and unproportional to the car. I've always liked vented hoods but done correctly.. and by that means proportional and complemented with aggressive lips/bumpers like Wald and aggressive wheels.

Without the other mods, it would be on the same level as a vented hood on a civic....

Yep, a big front lip will compliment the hood much better. Also, the fitment is very good for those that asked
