Paint looks great Frank! Amazing what a good polish will do to the finish. Can't wait to see your CF hood.

Can we get a shot of the front of your car. Like. Straight on, leveled at the apex of the front bumper?
I've always wanted to see what the carlsson bumper looks straight on

Lookin good frank. Im interested to see how your CF hood looks. Could ya do us all a favor and weigh the stock one vs the cf one? Combining your light weight batter and lighter hood, ya think you helped balance out the car a bit more by taking more weight off the front end? or is the CF hood more for the looks than anything?

i'm just picking up keven's cf hood. it's probably 10-15lbs lighter...not sure. won't have anything to weight it with tho. mainly i'm getting it because of that big dent next to my passenger headlight.

lol... Your idea of a big dent must be tiny or near invisible. I dont see anything? :P Are ya gonna repaint it all black, or leave it the way it is?

the dent is at the top of the grille on the passenger side where you see that distorted reflection.

probably just leave it as how keven has it for now. because if i repaint the hood, i want to repaint the front bumper and fix the crack on the rear bumper as well and that's gonna add up to $1k.

I use 3M rubbing compound and 3M high polisher on my car too. Stuff does wonders... I really need to do a buff/polish on my car, been a couple of months now. Cant wait to see the pics with the cf hood on it.

It cools the axle oil - not required in Finland

lol, yea...not necessary really in cold weather region and if you don't push the car that often.

anyway, CF hood is on...it's gonna stay looking like this for a while until I decide to re-spray the front/rear and the hood all together.
