no not yet but the carbon fiber roof is in the process it's being worked on right now as we speak and it will go on as soon as i install my turbo kit. but the hood is carbon fiber one of a kind custom made by my friends at ViS racing. the car is gonna go in the body shopp to have the roof done and the front lip painted and the carbon fiber diffuser is getting installed. well i do all the installation work myself but the bodyshop is gonna paint the parts.

I like it ok... Except for the black part of the front bumper, why is that painted black? Looks kind of gay... Sux you have to stick that front license plate on there too. Other than that looks nice, unique...

Looks good...and different, which is always cool.

Not a big fan of the two tone....but since you've done it, why not complete it and do the trunk lid as well?

Nice car man, Is that XM reception in that antennae?
P.S. You have to learn to ignore people like proform, some people were just born with hate in the blood. They have to knock the other man no matter what but they just slow you down. Ride over em!

Think of it as a CLK CSL i second the CF trunk idea. You've got me really interested in this turbo kit now, as far as i'm concerned, as long as the part works, whats the big deal if its from Japan? Doesnt stop you from using your cell phone does it? Greddy and other japanese tuning companies make some good stuff that can produce great results if you're open minded.
