Thank you. I was inspired to tackle this after seeing a few pictures of the RCF Fuji Speedway Edition in a matte ultra sonic blue with a carbon fiber hood. It was absolutely beautiful.

Love how this hood project turned out. Thanks to Brandon at LeMatterys in Minnetonka and MidWest Clear Bra for bringing this hood project to completion.

The hood looks really good. Did you replace the whole hood, or just applied that carbon fiber on top of the hood? Is the vent real?

Its a completely new carbon fiber hood. I had the paint custom matched on the sides, clear and PPF over the whole thing. The vent is real. There is a removable blocker under the vent if you want to remove for track use. If you look back a few post back you can see the progress of this new hood.

I would say it’s even better in person. Sound is the same but you can’t full appreciate how loud it is unless you’re in person.

I have yet to hear any NOVEL in person and hoping to eventually, so I can't imagine how great it sounds. I hope to go full NOVEL one day, just for the sound alone. Did you notice any power increase?

It definitely has a noticeable increase in low end power. I haven't dynoed the car, but it should be just over 500hp now.
