Woohoo... Those are some well traveled wheels and tires...so, does the tape residue on the tread increase traction???

I've seen that carbon fiber VIS hood with the 6 vents in person on a friend's car. I was NOT impressed with the fit. The gap where it meets the front facia is too wide and you can see the hardware through the gap.
It is this kind of fitment issue that has stopped me from getting an after-market hood. |

grrrrrr..... no, the car will not be done... just a few days shy i am thinking. I cant just pop in either... considering it is a 4.5 hour drive by the way you posed your question... i am guessing you will be there? I think I will be at the June 8th event though. 8th Annual Michigan FBody Meet & Greet Car Show I saw that pic... loooks goood... I am not sure i am feeling the full carbon fiber.... I might have to get some CGM on there... will run it stock this summer though and paint in the winter maybe. MIKE - how is Larry's fittment? |

I think speedster has that same CF hood. I'd ask him how the fitment is. He is someone I'd trust to be a good judge of such things.

A friend of mine took a stock hood and did this to it... We're going to do the same thing (the vents) for my car.
