Well look at the bright side. At least you get to know your car a bit more intimately now in and out

Noice, what's the rotor looking thing in the engine bay? A brighter shot of it would suffice a bit better.

I didnt take the pic someone at a meet took the pic and i just got it from him. I'm working on getting a day photoshoot. The rotor looking thing is a powder coated black rotor housing and a powder coated chrome rotor sitting ontop of my battery box.

^gonna go on a limb here and say you're probably thinkin' about painting the little flares around the oil coolers and the exhaust shrouds? If so, i agree. heh

Interesting that Droopy painted the rmagic/seibon hood. I've been wondering what that would look like...

Not bad, I think the lip spoiler on the trunk should of stayed SS and that would flow better

I'm not a fan of the veilside on an 8, just looks too uh...rice-ish for a lack of better word? But yet on the SS that's the first few pictures I've seen on that color and it looks actually pretty good. I think if he left the lip spoiler SS it would be perfect. Still great look for the SS nonetheless.

You just have to turn the lights on and see for yourself ...

i actually thought about painting my roof black and getting my rims powder coated black with a chrome lip but idk, the more i think about it the more i wana keep it clean and just stay SS.

The CF wing was on there when i bought it so i couldnt tell you where the kid before me got it form. I believe its a carbon creations MS wing but im not exactly sure.

Thanks everyone for the kind words =]

Its funny you say that Atilla, because i myself was wondering what my car would look like with the hood restored back to carbon fiber lol. the kid that i bought it from already painted the hood before i got it so i have never seen my car with a CF hood and i would really like to see it with a CF hood instead of a silver one.

dont re-cf the hood. it looks very clean painted.

if anything, do the black trim painting that rotr suggested.

If you'd like to see what it'll look like i can probably dig up some pic's of when i strapped the hood on when i first got it. I don't have it on now but it's not hard to put it back on for ***** n' giggles.

I've been thinking about going in a different direction with the hood though. I plan on painting it SS to match the car but i plan on some minor changes that hopefully a body shop can do for me.

What i'd like to see is the hood painted SS but leave the ducts CF like the EVOX hoods.
