gh8st's new hood =]
I ordered the seibon matte finish tsI hood (thanks to topgear8 for the idea) last thursday and the hood arrived TODAY.. took them less than a week to get the hood shipped out from california to new york! so here are some pictures 
What's in here?
Hoodless =)
Sneak peakkk
tada!
gap? what gap?
The fitment was surprisingly good..
hella flush!
mmmmhmm..
[edit: MORNING SHOTS]
thanks for looking guys! My next step is gonna be to recoat my front lip with the matte finish so it matches. I'm open to suggestions!

oh man, i love this hood! nice choice - topgear's is sweet. i didn't realize they made a wet (shiny) and matte version though. so i guess the matte finish looks like dry carbon?
take come close-ups w/ light. i have bb so i really don't know what looks better w/ bb, shiny or matte. hmmm

good point! damnit. i guess i've can't picture the shiny cf on a bb, so i don't know what to compare it too. tg's does look sweet though. i have a "shiny" cf trunk lid, but honestly it fits like sh-t and i wouldn't mind saving up for a matte lid if i thought it would look better. maybe one day i'll be able to see one in person, that's probably the only way to tell.
