Just email me at rowdyb7@hotmail.com with what your interested in. He stocks hood, z3 fenders, some kits, Tenzo R racing seats... but he can get just about anything.

Looks good. I got mine about two weeks ago, give or take. I like it alot, looks really good. You do know that you can take the oem gaskets on the end of the oem hood and put them on the vis hood, if you look at the vis hood you'll notice the holes are already there. I had to drill mine out a little bit more to get them on right but it works. Also, I'd get hoodpins if I were you just to be safe.

i like the stripe thing on the side of the car, goes good with the hood, which is very nice i might add.
I really like the rims to, are they Rota's or Enki's?

carbon fiber hood, awwwwwwwwwwwwww i love it. Is it carbon fiber on the inside too, looks like it. I dig the hood, and the front grill i like. I am waitin on mine to come in with the angel eye headlights. But very clean car man, all you have to do now is get a kit and the car would be extremly clean. Keep up the work, i'm hopin to save up some money and order my hood soon, before summer. Keepin fingers crossed.

Thanks for the comments!! Im glad some of you see my themes and goals with the car. Its starting to come together. Still not sure if i want a kit or not. Probably will be either an oem or aero kit. Still have lots to do with the car, nothin too serious but it will just continue for the next few years. Maybe by then it will be serious stuff..lol!
The cf wraps around to the bottom a bit. It goes a little way past the hood latch and then turns to fiberglass. But VIS nicely paints the fiberglass black up to a smooth straight line with the cf. Its light though, stock hood is relatively light too. But this one is like a toy hood compared to a prelude hood for example. Send me an email anyone that is looking to by a nice cf hood. Import Sports Direct is a really good place to get them for a pretty good price and good service.
The stripe was custom drawn but simple. I have a guy here Alter Ego or Justin Cohen who did it and installed it. The prices vary but I can get you in contact with him if you want. He can create what ever you want (not my stripe!) but he is really cool and his accord is on cardomain at http://www.cardomain.com/id/blackaccord I suggest checking out that car!

Just to let you know they do make real cf grill, but for the price the black altezza grill is much better. The cf hood looks like it fits perfectly and looks real good with the rest of the stuff on the car, the side graphic looks pretty good too. Clean car looks good keep it up

All I can say is that car looks good except for the stickers and stuff, too many, I like that hood and planning on getting that soon, also get some hood pins, you dont want the hood flying open like my friend, it cracked his windshield and he almost crashed that sucks mega. Great looking car. thumbs up
