    Thats right..maverickman is awesome, for anyone who doesn't know..:)

    I ordered a standard hood from him, but we had issues with paypal.. then he found out the two he had left had gotten damaged somehow . SO.. he offered me this.... "two off" DRY carbon fiber hood. I know I know...be jealous:rolleyes: the quality is superb... I WILL build my car to deserve this hood

    That hood is going to cost you a small fortune! Now, like you say, you have to build the car up to the hoods level.

    Have fun

    The more I see them, the more I want one for my project car. I really like the dry look.

    Does that hood still need to be clear coated or is it ok to leave it that way?

    Personally I'd hunt a 2dr. Paint it a dull black with some black wheels. I think the young whiper snappers call that "murdered out" lol.

    How can the car get lots of "Exposure" if it can't be out in the sun? :hmmm:

    Lol, I know right! It can be in the sun just not spending the majority of the time in it
    thanks for the idea. I love 2 doors but I'm sticking with the four door for a reason on this project. I'm real deep in it now. I'm going to post a thread in the project section soon
