Couple of questions:
Where did you get the black out OEM grill ? Did a shop just paint it for you ?
Also those tinted mirrors look awesome. They do a great job of complimenting the tails you had done. Were those just tinted by a shop ? Or a film ?
Car looks great. Its gonna be a blacked out beast.

The mirrors were done by a shop in Germany. They are tinted not film.

Beautiful piece! I can't wait to see it on your car!!
Hey just out of curiosity, is there any need to worry about using CF/FG hoods? I mean factory hoods are designed to crumple and have super strong mounts. Just worries me a little what CF could/would do in front impact.

Congrats Dave. Glad to finally see you got the hood. The quality is great and i hope it makes up for your wait. Now get them on the car and enjoy it!!
Just a quick question, where did you get the KMPh speedo from? My car is US spec too and i'd like to change that.

I also noticed that the BOCA website doesn't have any pricing. Do you need to email them? And will that GruppeM style intake have any performance gains. I think it looks just like OEM only in CF, unless they can prove its gains.

I think they have distributors in ME so you contact them or BOCa direct. The GruppeM intake - I am not sure about peformance gains yet - does GruppeM claim any gains?

Can you post a picture of your black speedo please.
