Not really a big fan of it on the white...looks good on that blue one though. I dunno...it's got a certain something with the tints and dark rims, but it still sticks out a bit too much for me. Worth it for the weight considering your 1/4 mile times though...

The car looks good overall though. Not sure I saw pics after all the body work.

I think it looks great... I'm definatly considering getting one.

Oh, and the ionic CF lip isn't wrapped over fiberglass, its 100% CF. At least from what I can tell...

those hoods are looking good but with all these issues about fittment and "dents" i wonder if it's smart to get a cf hood.

Build it and I shall buy.....it will be a great match with my trunk

Dayyyym! I like it Ceasar. Car looks so hot it might be illegal in some states.

I might add that the car's persona has changed because of it, too...

Now it gives the suckers that you race a clue that you are going to whoop them before you actually see a green light!

However, as a fellow "My Maxima can't be light enough" kinda guy, I can understand how you would have wanted a lighter hood even if it was borderline flimsy. At least I think thats how I feel about it. Im so obsessed with my car's weight that I am considering going on the Atkins diet.

I'm just not diggin it. I love carbon fiber on black and other real dark colors. But never been a fan of it on light colors. But nice way to set your car apart from others.

thanks hacim and i understand what you mean, to a certain degree its a sacrifice for me also. for now im going to roll with it. a bigger weight savings would have really been a plus but almost 20 isnt bad.
