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

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.
