seriously man that car looks amazing...partly because it's so unique man...nice job...I guess we know how to do things in Jerz

edit...those chrome 5.5 Gen tails need to be blacked out or switched to 5 SE tails...or even take the 5 th SE tails and red out the clear part....just a suggestion

It's at the River Side Square Mall (Hackensack, NJ). It's where I valet...(those who think they can steal my car there are sadly mistaken.)


I took the pictures from a ramp that goes to the second floor of the parking garage.

That is a sweet pic. Your whole car looks awesome Polak. Is there any movement of the hood at highway speeds?

Looks awesome Polak... Def. goes with the tune of your blacked out theme. I wouldn't even paint the lip like others suggest, it just makes your car look more unique.

I second that, don't paint the lip. I think it adds to the unique look of your car. Looks great!!!

The hood looks nice and shiny. The rest of the car could use a wash.

Car looks sweet.

You can see the hood flex at highway speeds but that's what I need to adjust. I still need to mess around with the latch so the hood doesn't move.

It's been snowing here lately (yesterday) so I can't wash the car because the minute I get on the highway, it will be salty again.
When I get to Florida it will stay clean.

nice man. looks good...i live near there too! go to TGIF and Houstons all the time.

quick newbie question. other than looks, are there any practical benefits of a carbon fiber hood? i read about "performance benefits" and "lighter weight" but really in the end, are there any practical benefits? thanks.

keep up the good work on your car.
