That's one of our VP's vette in the background.

Mods list includes: APR splitter, Hi-Tech Composites Hood, Katech side skirts & rear spoiler, Breathless rear diffuser, Forgestar F-14 19/20 wheels & Nitto Invos from The Speed Depot, Laser Mesh side sceens.

Thanks for looking!

Not feeling the mods, but the SSB is the best.

Nice, Wheels look like TSW Nurburgring RF, but AFAIK there are no GS Offsets for these. Did you use adapters? Who made the hood? Is it CF? How much more does it block the view as compared to the OEM hood?

The wheels are Forgestar F14 and they are in the correct offset, I didn't need any spacers. Alex from The Speed Depot on this forum hooked me up with those.

The hood I got from Ecklers but it is made by Hi-Tech Composites. It comes in CF and fiberglass, I went fiberglass. There are definitely some issues with the fitment particularly the leading edge but my body shop made it look good. It's about an inch to 1.5" of rise in the middle, not too much blockage at all out the front, barely noticable. The spoiler blocks about a quarter of the view out the rear view mirror however.
