Cool My Kaminari OEM CF Hood is installed!!! **PICS**

Well, you asked for it. Here are the pictures. This is my new Kaminari OEM Carbon Fiber Hood.

It arrived in perfect condition, except for a small chip on the left side near the hinge. This flaw happened when it was packaged by the company. Since the sides of the hood are black anyways, we just took a small piece of black electrical tape and made it look like part of the hood.

I am VERY satisfied with the quality and the looks of this hood.

I'll post up my DIY's for the hood install and hood pin install when i get back from the gym.

The DIY's are posted!!!!

It's how they built the hood. The hood pins are there for SAFETY reason so there is no arguing that they shouldn't be there.

I like the black line because my car colors are silver and black with hints of blue.

Oh ok. I was just wondering what those black lines were.

Are you going to be getting your grill painted?

Nope! And I don't plan on drilling washer holes either. In a few weeks i'll make a mod to the section just under the hood and put the nozzles there. I might even make a DIY for that too!

LOL, it's truly made for the sedan. To get it to really work on a coupe you have to buy a sedan radiator cover. All you have to do is buy the grill. I had to get the grill and a new radiator cover.
