I finally got MY car back from the shop
 

Here we go:

Look, Ma. No hood :thinker:

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

At this point I feel the need to agree with Dezoris. 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.

It seems to match the calipers well:

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