Here we go:

Look, Ma. No hood


What's this on the floor?


First time on the car. The fit, well, it needed adjustment.




I would like to say that in general I don't like big, naked carbon fiber panels on cars. However, I have to say I thought (briefly) about leaving the hood CF. It looks SOOOOOO good on Silverstone. Of course, I ended up painting it. I also had the bumper plugs and the front H emblem shaved off. Here it is:












































Now for something completely different. The hood came with some mesh covering the vents from the inside. I decided to have that powder coated and here is the result:








These things GLOW in sunshine (or under a camera flash) they are WAY bright. In the garage, or overcast they are much more subtle.



They seem to match the brake calipers very well


From inside the car:


Now, these aren't for everyone. I know some are going to love and some are going to hate these. I like it, so that's all that really matters.


I had tweaked the hood to fit "better." The body shop tweaked it and it fits AWESOME now:

 

looks good! is that a seibon hood?

 

looks great


now get an oem front lip, S2000's look naked and incomplete without a oem front lip

 

that looks great. the color match looks great too, and how you got it to fit is awesome too, cuz i have seen some funky seibons around, yours looks to be a good fit after your adjustments. it looks a little like my car

 

Looks great! Is that an athentic mugen hood?

 

It's definitely a seibon, not mugen. Looks good though!

 

Sorry, I wan't trying to imply it was the real Mugen. I was going to mention it in the orignal post, but forgot. It's is Seibon hood.

I can't believe how well it fits after the body shop got done with it.

 

hey, did u blend it in, or was it painted off the car?

edit: where/what is your intake?

 

You had me until you powdercoated the mesh. Otherwise looks good

 

I am not 100% sure. They had the whole car for over a week, so I don't really know what they did.

I have an AEM style intake. I am working on several under-hood projects right now and will post up when they are all done. All I will say is that under the hood looks BAD right now.
