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.

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.

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.
