EDIT: For those that say paint the hood all white...I have seen it done and chose not too...this is from member TomTomTuning, looks clean, just was not feeling the scheme with my car

CHECK OUT THE WAREHOUSE SHOOT (AKA DOUBLE DRAGONS/TRANQUIL CATASTROPHE)

 

that hood is ugly other than that nice car

 

i think the hood would have look better if it was CF

 

car looks nice...it has come a long way... what kind of a-pillar is that? mine does not look nearly as good as that one...

 

u shouldnt have painted it

 

just my opinion though its your car

 

Agreed, non the less a very sweet ride!

 

the hood is c/f....I hate c/f hoods, but I liked the style of this one...I was debating it for a while, but after seeing it out on the road, I do like the way it came out....will probably remove the ralliart vent soon though...

The gauge pod is from gaugepods.com, it's a full replacement

 

Your car looks awesome. Quite an evolution of your Evolution IX!

Reth

 

thanks Reth, we will be seeing you this summer?

 

Nice Ride!!!! I love the hood the car looks great!!!

 

Dang... the car looked really good until i saw the hood. The black bits on it just mess up the whole flow. And I'm all about the contrasting colors on white. All the other stuff is nice though. Love the wheels especially.

And I like your bro's car. Make me miss my old GC8.

 

car looks sick, but not feeling the hood. I dont think my opinion really matters long as u like it

 

Beautiful Man.....Hood does look different but thats where taste and individuality come in...Congrats. Wish u the best and hope your dream lasts till u reach the heavens.....

 

I hope so! Summer is just around the corner.
