Thanks man. I dont really like the roof either but the part I dislike the most is the light at the bottom. It doesn't fit in well at all in my opinion.

What happened to your hood ... and why do you have a license plate blocking your oil cooler?

Your hood is missing the paint.

If your state requires a front plate (my condolences), then I would recommend not blocking the oil cooler and possible engine damage. Just a thought!

OK. But, shouldn't it be painted so it matches the car?

That plate is not blocking the oil cooler, just slightly restricting clean flow to it. And obviously he doesn't track so it's a non issue anyway.

As for CF, well that was played out 10 years ago but looks are subjective.

yeah its all based on personal taste, i personally like it. Plus if i painted it you would still see the grooves from the carbon through the paint.

and no its not a track car, just daily driver.

Car looks good man! What brand of wheels are those?

BTW I'm sure if you wanted to track the car you could just remove the license plate lol.
