Hood
Fenders
Grille
Bumper Cover

Subtle but not the same and don't swap between.

Well, i called the people from raceonusa and they said they had recently came out with this carbon fiber hood for our sedans but it's only for the 03-04 sedan and not for 05-06. They said that for now they have no plans on releasing one for the 05-06 sedan. Guess u guys are out of luck...looks like ima have to put that CF hood on my Christmas wishling so it can go with my CF oem wingDOMO

Since it was in the CF part and not the painted part it would have had to be painted after repair. So he paid me for it and I just put my stock one back on.

Bummer, at least you enjoyed it while you had it. One last question...how much did the paint job cost?

I have a friend who has a body shop. He did the prep, black paint and put 7 coats of clear on the whole hood so there was not bump on the paint line for $100.
