Installed CF vented hood, blacked out light/indicators and updates
Well finally got around to installing the vented hood and the blacked out rear lights and mirror indicators. The installs were pretty straight forward and no major issues. The hood came out well and boy is it light-weight. Still a tons of things to get on the car...just need the time....will this ever end![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Next week mods:
CF Instrument cluster
CF front bumper vents
CF AC vents in rear seat
Cf fender inserts/flares
Evo sport blacked out fender indicators
Quaife LSD (upgrading from OEM)
and hopefully CF GruppeM intakes

CONGRATS!! Car looks awesome!!! ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
You are a finatic you know. HA! HA!![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
You going to black out the trim piece under the front lip of the hood above the grill?? I think that would match the grill better. Just my opinion for what thats worth.
Great job!! BTW, it never ends.

need some feedback on possible direction - once I will paint the top of the grill black the look would be solid black. This would be one option - the other option i am looking at is getting a CF grill as per attached pics. Any thoughts here as to what direction might look better?

I would go with the carbon fiber.
Btw, all the other stuff looks great.
