Well they are finally finished. They are going to be a bit different than what is shown, but basically it will be the same overall so I wanted to show you guys how they came out. The hood scoop that I highlighted in the last picture shows the imprint of the hood scoop that is molded into the hood. That hood scoop will be blacked out with black gel coat in the mold so that it looks better. The CF didn't lay right because of the angles being to tall and the cuts in the CF to lay just didn't work out and there were some wrinkles and so forth. They will still be CF and they will still look sweet though 
For those of you wondering about the 0007 serial numbered hood for both the N/A and the TII hoods will be auctioned on eBay. No you can't buy them I have received over 45 requests for that number, so you can see my point. I want everyone to have fair shot at them. Anyway, the TII hoods are done If you have ordered one already, they are being made as we type and they will be shipped out on a first that paid basis. Enjoy, and feel free to shoot me any questions you might have.
The group buy will go from now until the 25th of this month, Christmas day so ask for cash so you can order a nice fat CF TII hood on your car!

I'll have the weight out tomorrow We were to excited to get it on and take pictures that we forgot to weight it while we had it off the car LOL It is very light though. There isn't any weird bowing at freeway speeds (110mph+) so I am happy with the thickness of the CF backing and the overall framing.

replace the stock battery with a odyssey 'drycell' sealed and you've saved more than that for a shitload less money.
get the Al hood if you don't already have it, and do the battery conversion and you're still way ahead, and you still don't look like a rice boy woohoo!
