^^preach brother lol

Hoping to have the completely painted, assembled roller back at the shop early this week. STILL waiting on the carbon fiber hood to be finished and shipped. One of the biggest design decisions I'll have is to keep it all carbon or blend the paint along the cowl line. I'm torn right now, but I think once I see the hood on the car the proper choice will reveal itself

 

[TheOneandOnlyLTstang36]

Me personally I think we should keep it all carbon fiber. It will look sinister from the front but then again blending it may be the best way to go. Just for the simple fact that there is no other carbon fiber on the car. But it’s your car and your choice so we shall see.

we know one thing for sure....I'll change my mind 22 times before making a decision

 

[TheOneandOnlyLTstang36]

Yeah that’s very true that’s why I leave the decisions up to you. Every time I think we are going right you go left lol

I'll never apologize for needing things to be perfect

As a Mineral Grey owner, if I had a CF hood I would only paint the outer edges to define the body lines of the hood. The center would have to show off the art and beauty of the carbon weave.

I'm 60/40 leaning that way. I just have to see the hood installed and get a feel for how well the lines flow with the grill opening

You said that exact same thing to me the other day and I think he may be correct but as I said before you make the calls on this one brother I just confirm them in exception of painting the block I’ll take the credit for that one. lmao

That actually helps a lot thank you!

I think you should blend the sides. The rest of the car is so smooth and perfectly blended together as far as color choices. Then you'd just be slapping a basically black hood on, would look like sort of an afterthought almost, IMO.

 

[Sonic605hp]

No black hood imo.

Comin together

That would imply that it arrived! It’s been 6 weeks and I still don’t have it. My patience is being tested

 

[94slowbra1]

Looking good.

Cf hoods seem to always be a hold up. Check out the two group buy threads for the cf hoods from steve at TF. We waited months for them to come in. Hopefully yours comes in soon.
But they are well worth the wait and will really set the car off.

 

[BYEPOLR]

Looking good.

Thanks! Still a little more assembly and a light wet sand and polish but we’re definitely close

Drawback to carbon fiber hoods are that most are made in China, they’ll get held up in customs and shipping. Everything is looking amazing! Can’t wait to see and hear the finished product!
