thought it was photoshop at first also. Looks good IMO...Nice and different!!! After installing the CF rears I can imagine how much better it looks in person then on this photo! You could almost paint the middle section where your plate is black to follow thru with the theme?

What's the point of buying a CF hood if you're just going to paint the whole thing to match the car anyway?

hahha I just got it done. next meet I guess you'll get to see it. and no. the blue overlay doesn't make ANY difference in light output nor does it change the color. I think there's a thread on that....

I like CF on slightly darker colors, like red, grey, and maybe BWB
