What a great fitment. I love how your car looks.

It might blend in better if sides of the hood were painted along the lines that leads to high beams. It looks great how it is though.

looks good. I wonder why they used 1x1 weave on the trunk but 2x2 on the hood.

I'de love to see it in the sun showing off it's cf pattern. Looks good.

I'm def looking into this. The fitment is perfect!
With CF hood and vertex fenders, i should be shedding a considerable amount of weight.

Great work! The fitment is awesome and personally I love how the CF looks on darker cars.

I'll have to agree with cherp. For me it's all or nothing, CF the entire body, or just paint it.

I like the CF look with that grainy pattern to it. I'm just thinking i'd paint it for two reasons... Keeps the classy look of the car. And people wont suspect it on the track. They'll see your 3700 pound car and laugh at you, then hang their head in shame as you rip em apart on the track...

Thank you to everyone for the great comments. I really appreciate it.

I was extremely surprised with the fitment. I wasn't expecting it to bee so good.

Thanks, sometimes I miss the car being slammed. Had to raise it because of the 18's I'm not sure I quite remember your car from Lexfest in Baltimore.

Thanks, I got them from http://www.miataroadster.com they were about $85

Thank you. Definitely, it will be good to finally meet you, and you can check out the shop. I have a lot of things still planned for the car. Boost is most likely the next item on my list.

Thanks, I'm still debating about painting them. I'm hoping my car will look as good as yours one day

As requested here are some pics under the hood and in the sunlight. I had to cut very large openings on the underside in order to get the bolts around the nuts that attach the latches to the hood.
