Man, I'm sure glad you painted that Red. It sure is sweet now.
Didn't know about the back side vents near the windshield, but from the last photo they match well with the side vents in the fenders.

Hope to see your car StealthFox soon. Also Mikeb, was going to check the fitment of the hood in person, it looks pretty good... conservative. I think that's the thing now at showcars... look subtle, but full of power. At least RX-8 has one of the two so far... just need to wait for more Power.

Outlaw, I'm impressed with your reserved response. Much more subtle than I was anticipating. Well done.

Thanks for the reply on the photos of a Black 8 with the cf hood. With what I seen on this thread, I placed an order for the Seibon Hood. I went with the TSII style. btw Mike, is this a do-it-yourself job? or do I need a body shop to intall it? Thanks.

Pawn off StealthFox? Why do I get the sense that you are trying to be a smartass about this? Are you really that insecure in real life that you have to make ignorant comments, and "try" to attack my opinions on the hood?

as for your opinions on the hood i'm "stating my opinion" on what i personally think(and most reasonably aesthetically inclined persons) is acceptable for carbon fiber because it can definately get out of hand and needs to be done right, and that not all paints can have large carbon fiber pieces and still look great(but of course that doesnt matter because its all subjective, some people think having their lime green civic hatchback with 5 different colors of plastic for thier unpainted bodykit nail gunn'ed onto the side of their car looks excellent)
