I don't know if that's the same hood I have, but I had mine painted in a semi-gloss black, I like the look better this way. It was nice in CF, but like everyone says that was 3-5 years ago.
btw-i got mine from Erebuni corp. who is no longer in business.
ps-The reason he has a gap is b/c his car is a 1.8 and the hood needs minor modification to clear the top of the valve cover, the section over the timing belt, as is, it will not shut.

Since you're asking opinions, Sav, I think your car looked the most **** back in the day before the rotozip treatment and the CF hood. Pic in your sig is sic.
Sorry to be a douch guys, but what's the advantage of CF in this application? How much weight are we looking at saving here? I understand the value of venting but is this CF contraption significantly better than a stock alu hood with an extractor? Factory hood seems to weigh nearly nothing as is, plus it surely has a good bit of heat transfer capacity simply by being alu, eh? Or am I all fucked up here?

Me too, actually, but I needed to get another hole to install an oil cooler and the car was already overheating at hot track days. It's a much cleaner look without all that stuff, but cooling is one of the few "function over form" things on the car. If I can find another cheap PZ black bumper skin, I'll probably pick it up and have a track nose and a street nose.
