CF hood

Did you hoods come pre drilled from windshield washer or did you have to relocate them? Cuz I think I have them or its 2 dents in the hood where the windshield washers go

some hoods come premarked like your since you said there was indentions in the washer area. They are easy to install if you want to. Just mask the area off with tape and drill starting with small bits and increasing in size til you get the right size.

no holes, but i didn't want any windshield nozzels anyway, and i don't miss them. long as you keep the windshieldclean, and apply some rainx regularly, the windshield will perform

now that i won't have it, i was thinking of chainging the nozzel resevior into say.. a water mister for an intercooler or something

Maybe this is a good chance to make the holes so that you can install the squiters to shoot left and right to the side of the car. That way you can nail cars next to you to get their attention.

Get a shop that's proficient in it to apply some color-matched vinyl for you. Personally, I like the clean and sleeper looks. . . so you'll have the benefit of the CF's weight-reducing characteristics, but it'll be a secret.

Unless you're wanting to show it off to everyone, then just get the black CF anyway. . . . it'll show itself off without ANY modification or added cost.

how will it look on a black car? will it still stand out, or just look dirty?

i like it on black cars, if it ties in...i.e. gunmetal wheels (which im getting) carbon fiber in the engine bay/interior, and other carbon parts. for example i have a carbon fiber gas filler door, it looks black from just a few feet away. carbon fiber on black is good if you dont wanna show it off THAT much.
