I’ll start this off with a picture of the box the hood came in (along with the diffuser and spoiler):
Unwrapping all the bubble wrap to unveil this carbon fiber beauty:
I also got this nice low profile spoiler that sits on top of the tail light section. I wasn’t a fan of any of the other spoilers that actually bolt into the hatch, this one is much cleaner and makes the car look more Viper-esque.
Test mounting it. Unfortunately, the finish quality of the spoiler wasn’t too great, there were scratches and other imperfections scattered around. I ended up having it painted a gloss black.
The quality of the hood was much, much better thankfully. One small corner did somehow end up broken off when I received it. This meant spending a few hours sculpting, sanding, and painting to get it back.
Here’s the car with the OEM hood removed.
Fitment is great, I did run into a problem trying to close it shut initially. Turns out, the latch locking mechanism couldn’t fit over the U handle (for lack of a better name) on the hood; it was too thick in diameter. Comparing it to the one on the stock hood, there’s a groove in the part where the latch hooks over. So I busted out some dremel bits and made a similar recessed groove, and it did the trick.
Excuse all the finger print marks on the front of the car, that’s from compulsively getting everything to align correctly.







love the hood where did you buy it ???
