Finally got around to installing my Seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk. I've had them for a while but just haven't had a chance to put them on.
Also installed Aerocatch hood pins, which were a pain and took about 4 hours![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Haven't decided whether or not I want to paint them.

That looks incredible, I love the way it goes with the black especially from a distance. Both my hood and trunk need replaced and that's the direction I want to go with it once I can save that money up.

Thank you. I was actually quite surprised how well they blend with the black from distance.

that's sick. love those hood pins. do you mind being asked where you purchased them and how much they set you back? the aerocatch site only lists 4 us distributors and their prices vary on the non-locking model.

the fitment is fantastic. that has to have a dramatic effect on center of gravity.
not knowing any of your suspension mods, I would think the CF and the brakes would have to give your car a huge edge when it comes to handling aside from them looking fantastic.
I like it a lot, although I would paint both. The hood pins showing through would hint at what you are doing. I prefer subtlety on mods like this: my own opinion.
