Thank you! It was a lot of hard work, but in the end it is worth it.

Trunk lip is from ebay:

No, not gonna lower it, as I live in Houston, and the roads here are horrendous. I just put the front lip spoiler on yesterday which lowered the front a little more than an inch, and was scraping as is without it on....so lowering is probably not the best idea.

I need honest opinions please!!!!

So I got the crazy idea today that it might be cool to do the carbon vented hood from Seibon, like below:



But my idea, is to do white vinyl on the sides where the carbon is only a continuation of the grill, see amazingly bad photoshop rendering I did of my car below:





So honest opinions, is this too much, and should I just keep my hood as is (stock, with white vinyl), or the carbon idea above? TYIA!!!

I was kind of thinking of that idea myself but I'd prefer keeping the seibon hood as is. If your roof's black it will look pretty weird with the hood though. Other wise I say go for it.

Let us know, we can get the hood for you and have it drop shipped to you
I think the Seibon Hood would look killer.

Nice build you have here! I have a seibon hood and wanted to do this (side of seibon hood to match the paint) but I could not find a 100% matching vinyl wrap for atomic gray.

Richie did this before, I thought it was a very stunning look.
