That looks dumb as hell. Now if the whole car were carbo fibre that would be a different story.

yea all he needs is fenders and doors and roof. you can see he already has hood, front facia, and sides, but one can assume he likes CF and aslready has rear Seibon trunk and probably the rear facia.

I really like that hood though. THat car has either too much or too little CF.

did I mention how much I liked the look of that hood?

Looks like a carbon fiber version of the Element 114 bumper. Any confirmation?

It is certainly exclusive, although a bit too much CF for my tastes.
