Talking gh8st's new hood =]

I ordered the seibon matte finish tsI hood (thanks to topgear8 for the idea) last thursday and the hood arrived TODAY.. took them less than a week to get the hood shipped out from california to new york! so here are some pictures

What's in here?


Hoodless =)


Sneak peakkk


tada!


gap? what gap?


The fitment was surprisingly good..


hella flush!


mmmmhmm..


[edit: MORNING SHOTS]







thanks for looking guys! My next step is gonna be to recoat my front lip with the matte finish so it matches. I'm open to suggestions!

fitment looks pretty good, but it could be the lack of F-ing light,,,,

oh man, i love this hood! nice choice - topgear's is sweet. i didn't realize they made a wet (shiny) and matte version though. so i guess the matte finish looks like dry carbon?

take come close-ups w/ light. i have bb so i really don't know what looks better w/ bb, shiny or matte. hmmm

good point! damnit. i guess i've can't picture the shiny cf on a bb, so i don't know what to compare it too. tg's does look sweet though. i have a "shiny" cf trunk lid, but honestly it fits like sh-t and i wouldn't mind saving up for a matte lid if i thought it would look better. maybe one day i'll be able to see one in person, that's probably the only way to tell.

congrats though. it looks sweet! how was the shipping rate? the price on their site looks reasonable.
