The hood looks really good, no nasty gaps like other hoods, and the vents make your car and front kit look even more aggressive, like its gonna eat you or something!, The trunk however does have gaps and doesnt sit flush, noone has had a perfect trunk on this forum, every trunk has had gaps, Deedubs was not even on its (lip) from left to right corners, but was Custom so i guess thats ok because i dont remember it having gaps, and other ppl have big gaps. Other than that, dont spend money on ur CF roof, get engine mods, or some real nice wheels to complement the new look, some Works or Volks. But thats just my opinion!

edit: have you thought of CF side mirror covers? or F1 type side mirrors in CF? scratch that just get the covers.

You made the right decision

WHat the F! were you thinking parting out? Thats worse than just selling it to someone!

That's a pretty big gap in the trunk.

You can get the vinyl carbon tape for the hood.

Then get the trunk hood and top clear coated.

If you don't clear coat its ging to fade away.
