Steer clear from that. VERY clear. 1. It's damn ugly.  (I'll tell it like it is, not this "it's not my taste" stuff) 2. Nobody that's bought one has been completely satisfied with the way it fits. (though no CF hood is going to be perfect, I've heard of more fitment/finish problems with the dome hoods as opposed to OEM-style CF hoods) Stick it out with an OEM style hood or jump on the ones that NorCalCoug is offering in the GB forum. They are much nicer. -SAV

Did you think that they were going to email you back saying "yes, our product doesn't fit for [censored] and is poor quality, but you should still purchase it"

i personally just dont like the look of it too much, so that part is up to you, unless you want your car to have the Kingpin stamp of approval

i really like the CF hood with out cars. The OEM style, or the Norcal one. That monstrosity however, ruins the lines of the car. It just doesn't look right.

I don't like it!! Well since u asked? First our hood is nice enough, get a mirko instead of that hood. I hate CF hoods, black hood on a silver car doesn't look right. Unless you get it painted!! Surely you know that you would be trying to look like every other ricer drving down the street(not trying to be rude). Cause ricers love CF anything on ther cars!! Your car looks sweet now with your drop, take things little bye alittle andenjoy, cause if you go all out things will geet boring real quick!! Trust me right now your car looks real sleek and clean looking, leave it that way 
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I know that a higher-than-expected percentage of forum members voted against the CF, but I promise one thing... I will order my Mirko by next week along with my headers to counter-match the added agressiveness of the cowl hood. Also, I promise that if I do not like it, I will resell it on eBay. I have 192 feedbacks at 100% and reselling things is usually a song. The way I see it is this... My car's main theme is silver & black. So there is nothing that can cosmetically harm it, as long as it stays within my monochromatic color combo. This includes, my hyperblack wheels, my blackened B-Pillar, sail panel and mirrors, a black rubber radio antenna, or a carbon fiber hood for that matter. It's a trial & error situation. I can't lose either way! I will post updated pics along with a poll to let you guys give an opinion with an actual view of the finished product.... Maybe it will look good when it's together... Okay, that's enough writing and money spending for today  . Good night guys.  XL

I do have one and in general I like it (from a distance and in pic's) but if I had to buy it over again I probably wouldn't. The fit is poor and the finish and overall quality is average at best. I would consider my hood a "BLEM" but it was not sold to me that way�I paid full price.
