^^^ahhhhh thank you sooOOOOO much for those!!!! Any shots of the skeleton underneath?

I am sure mine is legit now after looking at those pics. Yes my clear sucks and needs to probably be redone, but some TLC will make it way better. Great pics!!! I hope yours fits better than mine. Take good care of that clear, as you can see with enough sun it can make the hood look horrible.

Also, you may want to clear bra the leading edge on the hood, as it looks like I have a large chip in the front of mine due to some sort of impact. Good Luck.

Pwn (/poʊn/, /puːn/, /pəʔˈoʊn/, /pɔːn/, /piˈoʊn/, /pwəʔˈn̩/) is a leetspeak slang term, derived from the word "own",[1][2][3] that implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent who has just been soundly defeated. Past tense is sometimes spelled pwnt (pronounced with a t sound), pwned, pwnd, pwn3d, or powned (with the standard d sound). Examples include "pwnage" or "You just got pwned!" More obscure phrases include "über-pwnage", "pwningful", and "spread that bread with pwnsauce".

That's what I thought too. But come to find out they have badges on their fiberglass stuff and not on their full carbon stuff.

The hood is real whether the haters like it or not. Yah the fitment is gimp, but I'm working on it. I'm gonna clean the hood up real good and post proper pics again. But again thanks for all those that helped. Keep the pics coming as I don't think there are more than 10 of these in the states.

People will always hate on what they cannot have or afford. So I'll take it as a compliment.

You will also notice the driver side under skeleton has more room for a larger scoop. My forge intake used to hit the underside of my stock hood, but now it doesn't hit. SCORE!

maybe you need to re-clear the hood its a tad bit yellow.. but the outcome of the re-polishing looks good

Yah I think I will end up having to reclear or paint the hood. The fading is already coming back because of the heat from the engine. Kinda sad about it.

I would give it two months before it looks like it did before and I dont think any detailing will get it perfect because the clear coat has been damaged by the sun all the way through.

Gonna visit my buddys shop this week and see what he can do with it as far as sanding it down and reclearing. I don't want him to accidentally sand too far down.

So I'm going to let him sand off most of the clear and when he gets close to the CF I want him to remove the rest of the clear by hand, then either spray a clear or paint the hood black and leave the vent CF.
