    agree about the splitter, the rieger one goes all the way to the back with about 1.5" of protrusion (similar to yours)

    clean looking hood tho

      The splitter isn't my fault. I asked Ryan to send a slab of plastic big enough, but he messed up.

      I will be making a new splitter for the new lip when it comes in. it will stick out further, and will extend all the way back. Also working on a custom front undertray.

        Note in that picture the hood is just thrown on there. I bolted it all up, then shut it. No adjustments have been made to it yet. That will be this weekend.

          Wow, impressive (otherwise known as lucky) initial fitment.

            I like it much much better than the CF hood. Never really caught on with that look - maybe it's because too many local ricers are running around with black spray painted hoods.

                  Wait till this weekend. If its nice I will wash up the car and take pictures of the whole car. its pretty filthy from the drive to Olympia and back (430miles) in rain, sleet, and hail.

                  Its gonna take some getting used to, but I definately like it this way.

                    I like it a lot better this way. The car looks a lot cleaner and not as flashy. Good choice Jordan. Can't wait to see it in Eugene.

                      Hoods are supposed to be the same color as the rest of the car. Looks better painted. :up:

                        When I first saw your carbon hood, I thought, rice-O-rama, ricemaster, rice-a-delic, the ricesterrrr, etc. BUT, with the rest of your car being what it is, you kinda pulled off the look. It took me a while, but dammit, I got used to the look, even got to the point that I actually liked it. Now you go and change it all up, and, well, it just ain't the same. I suppose I will get used to this one too, and prolly even like it better than the carbon. But the contrast is lost for sure, but maybe that is a good thing. (When you put the carbon up for sale, the thought crossed my mind, ;) ) Can't wait to see the full pics.

                        Maybe you tint your windows now for some contrast? Ohhh, or paint your wheels carbon fiber look LOL.

                          Needs contrast in my eyes. Darker wheels (or polished) would be my direction.

                                that CF hood was the only thing I hated about your car... Your car isn't a race car so don't bother with the CF hood... It now looks classy.
