So you've had the hood since Monday, and its still not on the car? Whats taking so long?

Can't wait to see full car shots with lowering/rims/hood/SAP. Should look badass!!

I'll tell you now. Reinforce the hood prop center section. Otherwise I GUARANTEE it will break. It has happened on both of my cars that I've had CF hoods on. Just a fair warning. Put a small metal bar right over the spot and jb weld it in or something.

Also, wax it at least once every two weeks. That is the only way you will avoide the inevitable 'gel coat fade' that happens with CF.
Looks nice though.
