What does the price break down to in US $$$$, I think it said the fiber glass one is 78,0000, and the CF one is 98, 0000 if I remember correctly.

I wouldnt mind the glass one so I can paint it to match it to my car.

that use to be the chameleon painted GS4 from hawaii that was well known on the boards. i believe his member name was "itsallgood". the new owner had the car repainted to a plain black, but kept the car pretty much intact. if i remember correctly, the hood is from a company called Fiber Images .

*edit* found a pic

ya i remember that car cus of the tear drop rivets on his work rezzax 's . still haven't seen anyone do that again. shame he painted that car black it was such a unique color but mayb he wanted 2 change it so none would think it was the prior owner..

The weight redution with that hood is just awesome. I just don't like the style of that hood though..........
