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.

 

Et voila :

 

sadly no, I had problems with the insurance company and the flood in my house. I had to make sure they were actually going to cover the costs before I allocated 3500 to rims/tires. This issue was resolved just yesterday, but now I doubt I would even get my rims by 7-stock...even if I ordered them today. I know what I want at least. I'm gonna go with the staggered Volk Gt-7 in Diamond Black setup.

 

I took some of Triggers black 8 and carbon fiber hood at the Torrance meet. Do a search for Torrance and you should get two threads...one a Socal event thread, and another in the multimedia section where Trigger started a thread to show pics from the event. Hope this helps. I have it on my computer at home...let me know if you're not able to find it and maybe I could send it to you by pm.

 

mike dont do the black and red theme! i wanna be the first to do the two-tone! but mine will be blue and black/cf... but i do think the black rims set it off nicely.. :p


black unpaint cf pics..
heres sams....

stalker? maybe...
(love his car... still saving for hood and spoiler sam)

 

..stalker (stalking me or Sam)?

...yup, those are the pics.....

 

orbist
thanks for the photo shop
I like the black strakes and fuel door but Im not feeling my rims in black at all

 

It was merely my opinion. I've been in the import scene since 1994... have 3 cars sponsored in the past, (From companies such as Nitto & Wings West) and that was what I've come to the conclusion of the Import look of CF hoods.

How many cars have you fixed up for car shows?

 

Thanks, I'm sure StealthFox will have the chance coming SS8. 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.

 

lol sam...

 

Man, when I first read Stealth's response I immediately gringed, held my breathe, wondering how Outlaw would return the compliment...you know, with his history of thread closing verbage.

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.

 

you can install the hood yourself in minutes
its only four screws restob

 

what about black chrome rims?? that would look hot also.

 

Thanks Mike; I will post pictures as soon as I get it on.

 

yeah he has had some pretty unique body kit setups (first in the US to use the auto bahn sports front bumper i believe)

what does he run now? mazdaspeed? i remember a while back he was trying to pawn off his AB because it was too low for his work parking lot curb clearances or something like that.

 

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?

 

looks way better painted

 

the guy that painted it at HB mazda is awesome
he painted my mirrors and spolier also

 

mike where did u buy those ms kits ?
how much it cost u including painting and fitting job ?

 

were you for the bare CF or did you sugguest painting?

 

wow, i did not know he had a reputation for that, and his response did seem quite reserved. i certainly recognize him easily, he has quite a bit of posts and has been around

i do not understand what you are saying about being a smartass, but i am sorry if you misinterpreted my words, i did not mean any offense.

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)

 

i like the look with it painted... making me want one

 

will

the replica ms kit is poly urtheane and was 1500.00 plus 800 for paint and shaving rear emblems

 

Wow that hood looks awesome. Same one I hope to eventually get (maybe christmas )
