So I've seeen
I've seen carbon fiber doors, hood, trunk, rear wing and front grill.
All that's left is the front fenders and rear....
Anyone have those?
Hmmm..I wonder how much faster SW's SC300 would be like w/all that carbon fiber..hehe

Octane103 - How were the fit and finish of the hood and bumper? They look pretty good from the pic. Since only a couple people have them I'd like to hear all opinions.

fit
as far as i know, my bumper is the only one they have produced. it took me some time to put it on since it was a prototype, i had to use a dremel to hollow out the area where the bumper bolts to the fender, and put the little flat bracket w/ the 2 studs in to get it to bolt up. i was very picky about fitment and the bumper ended fitting almost as good as stock with a little work.
the only thing i dont like about it is the squares they had to patch in around the side markers. but the new bumpers will not have these, or they will find another way to make the carbon work around the marker lights. i even thought of maybe painting the bumper partially to cover that up. but i will probably never get around to it since i have a whole new bodykit i'm gonna put on instead.

oh yeah.......
oops......i forgot to comment about the hood.
the hood fits excellent. the only thing i have to do is put those little rubber thingys on each corner in the front. you know the ones that screw up and down to raise or lower where the ends of the hood sit. once i do that it will be perfect.

hood shocks
yeah, i did have to remove them. they were pushing up on the hood too much. that reminds me of another thing i have to do. i have one of those hood props from another car......i just have to install it. the bad thing about all carbon or fiberglass hoods is you gotta prop them up from the middle so they dont warp if you leave them open for a while.

Thanks Octane. I was curious about the fitment because everyone was saying that there were fitment problems(myself included) and I wanted another opinion.
