Why is there such a gap between the hood and your fenders? Is it just me?

I think those lights look good on a black car.

I think most CF hoods for our cars have that "bow" in them--- is it the springs that do that or is that just the way they all are?

I thought the springs were unavailable for them which is why everyone has to use a hood prop to hold it up. I'd rather see it be torqued than cast improperly, but I think it might be the way it's made. :huh:

Looks awesome. You might want to remove the hood springs, if you haven't. I am curious why the corners are not the usual smoked style. I like it, but was that intentional?
Yeah, I was wondering about the corners also.

I doubt he has the hood springs hooked up. It would be difficult to close the hood if he did.

To answer a few questions:

An R bumper is definately on the to do list. It will hopefully be one of my next mods. I may also tint the windows, but I'm on the fence about it right now. The first thing I did after taking my stock hood off is disconnect the hood springs. My hood does bow in the middle, just like all other 850 CF hoods. I'm still planning on adjusting it some more to make it less noticeable. The badges on the grille were on it when I got it, so I'll probably just leave them for now. The wheels are TSW 17's. I don't know the model. I bought them off of Pras, so if he reads this maybe he'll chime in. As far as the side markers, I'm planning on taking them apart and smoking the amber reflector, as well as the side by the fender. The suspension setup I'm getting is a 60/40 drop from F/K Automotive. I'm very curious to see where my car will sit with a 60 mm drop up front. I hope it's at least as low as it is now. I'm planning on cutting the back once again to make the drop more even. I appreciate all of the nice comments. By the way, the horns can't come out yet because the mounts are helping my ballasts stay in place. I need to mount those elsewhere first.
