Finally painted my grill black to match my CF hood. What do you guys think? *BWW*

Here are some better, high resolution pics...
And no, I'm not obsessed with myself. Looking back, I should have taken a few of the car by itself. =)<ul><li><a href="http://members.aol.com/cueship/s4/">Click</a></li></ul>

What good are the hinges if you don't have anywhere to mount them?
The CF hood I have doesn't have any supports underneath; it's just a skin. Keeps the weight down. If you go and buy a carbon fiber hood today chances are it'll have the supports and you can use the stock mounts and hinges. But not only will this type of hood save way less weight, you'll also be driving a ticking time bomb... Mark Q (SilverBullet) had a CF hood come up on him at like 120mph. Did quite a bit of damage to not only the car, but the driver as well (believe it was Kenny McNeil himself driving if memory serves me correctly). He had some nasty facial lacerations. All because the manufacturer of the hood claimed you could run it without using hood pins. BAD IDEA. BTW, my hood pins are super nice NOS '69 Plymouth RoadRunner pins! These look 10X better than that Chinese Sparco aftermarket crap!
