Default New Hood
Well, the new hood finally got finished. Its a High-tech Custom Carbon fiber hood, and then I had it painted... but wanted to leave a little carbon fiber showing.

I've never been a fan of exposed CF, but that's an incredible piece of kit and a great look with the subtle fade-to-CF finish! Who did it, and how much?

Viperish design , but still pretty cool looking hood. I like the fade job they did on the vents. Only thing i noticed, in the second photo of your original post, is the hood / fender gap. The hood seems to have a slightly different curve than the fenders and doesnt line up 100%. It seems to be shut all the way but maybe the fitment of the hood isnt 100% perfect ???

I absolutely love that hood. I was thinking of ordering it myself. (or the WC CF hood)

How's the fit and finish? Any uneven gaps or seams? I'm anxious to hear if you have any long term issues with water or other moisture getting into the vents. You get it with or without the water tray?

Looks f'n killer!
