Well I sold the CF hood with plans of getting a real VIS CF hood and CF trunk. I put the stock hood back on the car after selling the CF hood and it made me just fall in love with the clean look of the stock hood. I then got it repainted since it picked had some rock chips from the previous owner of the car and now when I look back at pictures of the car with the CF hood I like the clean oem look better.
to that....

thank you
well, I usually do things to the car not to make it faster or better or whatever only, I also like working on cars and installing things to take up my free time. With that said I will always be looking into things that are new and interesting.....right now I want to do a Co2 setup to help keep the boost cool but I am still researching it. There is always something that can be done but I'm getting married soon and the $$ won't be there to take on as much as I used to be able to.
alot of times I want to, just to be able to go a little faster and not worry about bumps and this and that but there's something about living in New York and being low.....its hard to explain but being low is like a street rep kinda thing
really.....wow I never realiazed this you mean the center pillars right? Hmmmm I will have to try it this weekend, I would have never guessed it. Any pics or threads on it?
Thanks +1000000 for that bit of info there I will try it out.

I did it on mine, and here's a general how-to:
1. the "tape" runs down inside the weatherstripping, so you have to use a very sharp hobby knife to cut it along the edge of the weatherstripping. Do this VERY carefully. I rushed it a bit and left a few scratches. You might be able to pull the tape off without cutting it, but I wasn't able to.
2. the "tape" is stuck on pretty good. Best way is to use a heat gun (lower setting) or a hair dryer (what I used) to heat it up and make the adhesive behind it less sticky (as if you were debadging).
3. Then just peel it off and underneath is nice glossy paint the same color
4. Take your time...and be careful. It takes a while to do, it's not just like peeling off masking tape or something
here's a pic of mine that you can see it on:
