yeah that's a CF hood that's been painted, with an exposed area in the middle. I've seen this hood somewhere.

I'm guessing this is Jose's hood. It looks nice in person and a great idea.

+1 on the real carbon fiber hood. If you do a fake CF overlay...

Either way, forget the hood, I'd rather have that hood ornament!

They had a DTM exhibition in Berlin a couple summers back. Damn, those things are monsters in real life! It was like F1 but so much meaner sounding...
