Still lovin the CF here.

Got my hood, mirrors, B pillars, gas door, shift ****, and dash kit.
Noobs? Its a style... like chrome or anything else.
RX8's all look good to begin with. Customize however you please IMO.
Mainly I have spent my money on these items rather than performance because I care about my warranty, seeing as how I just got a new motor out of it.

Not usually a fan of this hood, but that looks pretty darn good! Good work!

Weather finally cleared up, but still not optimal for taking pics! Seems to be very difficult to take shots of a black car, so many reflections everywhere! Anyone got any tips how to get the best images? Clear blue sky?

Anyways, took a couple of pics:

Difficult to see the border and the CF part...

PS! im no photographer

Damn, looks REALLY good. If you don't mind me asking: How much did it cost to get the hood painted?

It looks VERY VERY good, not only the hood but the whole car! Very nice job with painting also. Post some pics with hood exposed to direct sunlight so the paint job is more obvious.

wow thats stunning, i love the hood and the choce of paint you did on it. Real nice and aggressive looking.
Take pics of your car when its about dusk, opposite the sun and then put the exposure up just a bitm the reflections will look real nice with your car

Thats a sexy hood, i usually dont like Vented Hoods but painted with the carbon accents on the vent and rotor symbol in the middle just looks awesome!

Very nice car man.
