Absolutely love it but isn't it kind of annoying not having the CF roof? I was going to do the same thing but not having the roof is kind of killing me. Looks awesome though!

Thanks, guys! Still need to install my CF roof spoiler but the rest looks and fits great

Yes, wish I got the factory CF performance package but didn't plan to track the car before. I still love the car, though

will post more pics later

Well, delay in getting my car back. Detailer noticed an imperfection in the clearcoat on the hood after he had PPF'd it. PPF removed and hood sent back to be redone. Miss my RCF but patience is a virtue, right?...or so I am told...haha. Also, gives me time to drop off roof spoiler and get that installed and PPF'd as well.

Woohoo finally huh!! Looking good Will! You're a patient guy.
I'm envious of that hood; so aggressive.
So what's next? Besides the wedding...

Haha...thanks! As I get older, it seems you have to have more patience for wvwrything including yourself.

i still have the CF roof spoiler and JDM wheel well trim to put on still. And some interior bits.

Getting married definitely changes the modding dynamics and reduces my fun money having to feed more mouths but I have to look at it like a family mod/upgrade

At some point still have 2-piexe rotors, coilovers, and headers w/ tune....we'll see if the SC is still in my future or not and if it even works with my new hood.

Well, there was a delay and my detail guy got sick from allergies which required draining his lungs 3 times and being on antibiotics. He is okay and finally got my car back on Friday. Real delay was waiting on the PPF for the hood. Apparently it is a real PITA and took 2 people and multiple hours to get it done right. Dunno but I am very happy with it and get lots of looks and compliments. Nice to be back in the RCF

Will take new pics when I get the chance. I like the new wing but just prefer it locked in the up position. Anyone else the same way?

Was bugging me so I modified...I think it looks much better I went the $9 DIY route to see how it looked.

Nice! Hood... I would've done the same except in my car's color... It bugs me as well that it doesn't go along if you leave it all CF on a non-black/gray RCF...

By the way, what's the $9 DIY?

Duplicolor gloss white spray vinyl....and roll of blue painter's tape along with some newspaper. Sprayed on top of my existing PPF. Had to fix the line with utility blade due to line getting wonky on me when pulling the tape off. Took a good while b/c you have to take your time. BTW, more matte/satin finish than gloss

Thanks! Are you going to do the same on your hood with PPF?
