this is something you do if planning to get bigger wheels to fit or having any clearance issue with your wheels.......

rolling fenders = expanding you wheel wells a lil bit higher

well actually I got 2 hoods when I got this, the Carbon Fiber one and a normal fiberglass one. The difference in weight between the two is very minimal like maybe 5 pounds.
But to me I liked the flow of the car with the carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber A-Pillars, evo 8 spoiler and tails. Also im saving about $200 of paint by using the Carbon Fiber hood....

To people who might still have doubt about the Turbo... Well I can asure you he's got it. It's been well over a month and my hands still have scares from the install.

Nicely put togheter Erick. Now you gotta get that car in my garage so I can start drewling all over it while getting that pipe hooked up tight Another fiberglass hood hein? Are you telling me I gotta spend some cash again And btw... I might borrow your old bumper if you still have it. I'd need it for maybe a week or 2

I think that it looks good unpainted. A cf trunk would finish it off.
