I could not agree more! Any suggestions on make/model?

However, im thinkin that ill prally drop the car first (with TEIN CS coilovers) then do a nice exhaust. That way, wheels will be the icing on the cake!!!!!

PS: My car is parked outside the window of my office and i cant stop starring at it...u gotta see it in person to really appreciate the gleam off the CF....so nice!

i have a IP coupe as well and i wanted to get a carbon hood, but imma save up for my wheels first, i think Volk SF-challenge or Volk GTC in gunemtal would look sick! thats just my opinion.

yeah alot of people have them, maybe you should give "DPE" wheels a shot, they have some good sh*t! or maybe Iforged or HRE.

So please, tell me your thoughts...(its ok if u dont like it, i dont really care!)

The Pictures (from my camera phone) More can be seen on my CarDomain.com page...
Hmmm... I like that "white hood, black vents" idea a lot. You could do a black carbon fiber to white fade on each vent.

You will lose some weight but the stock hood is one of the very few OEM hoods made from aluminum

DoigOK - your car (that is yours right?) was the reason i got the hood in the first place. I had never been a huge fan of the CF thing until i saw those pictures and imagined it in IP...but now (like many things in life) my plans have changed because i friggin love the "black hood" look....looks soooo JDM, which is a look i love, and gets lots of looks and stares!!!!

However, having the option of painting it down the road is def one im gonna keep in mind...mos def in a similar scheme to your "faded" paint job...

Now all i need is Gold Volks and Red Seats and ill be the JDM KING!!! hahaha

if im correct, i've seen your car alot in north philly area recently, like 2nd street and chelteham ave area??? but it could be a different IP coupe with a CF hood... i liked it personaly but all my freinds thought G is a luxury car and CF kinda throws it off... oh well, CF is a well worth spent mod to any cars i think... i love my invader CF hood on my supra and i would have def gotten it if i had a coupe like you...
