Just wanted to show you guys my new hood installed. In the pictures it shows up more greenish, but in person it's more black. At some angles you can't even tell its carbon fiber, anyways it looks great in person. The guy I got it from said it was made by Duane but the underside doesn't have the Carbon Fibre FX plaque like some of the other hoods I've seen. The date on the sticker says 2004, maybe I'll take a picture and see if Duane really did make it.

I love carbon fiber, but I don't know that I like it on your car. Your black is way sexy and I think it would probably look better all black, but it's your car. I think the hood looks good, just maybe better without it.

That lotus looks like a praying mantis about to pounce on something.............:biglaugh:

It was just so bright outside when I took the picture it turns out greenish. But if you see it in person the carbon fiber is much more subtle. I'll be at the Supra meet if any of you guys wanna stop by.

To me I'd rather have the Lotus then an MKIV. I see plenty of MKIV's in Vegas but you only see a handful of Lotus's. They're just more exotic to me and they're the best handling cars you can buy right now. Plus it's hard to find an MKIV that hasn't been raped by the previous owner, but the same is true for MKIII's.
