PorscheBoy: Holysmokes!!! that looks amazing, I like it how it blends really well with a black car. I am thinking to purchase one for my box as well, does it uses factory hood frame, or straight bolt on using factory hood lock?

If you don't mind, could you PM me where you purcharse the hood from?

Cheers~

Hmm.... A P-Car doesn't look right without the Hood Crest.

thanks

Well, Porsche saw fit to use a composite of some kind for the bumper wraps. I guess if they use a steel hood then it's not purist to replace w/ CF, but I've been jeepin' for awhile & the standard in that community is to upgrade whenever something breaks. CF is de rigeur in racing, so as long as it fits and it can be painted to match the rest of the body I have no problem using it. 20# is 20#.

I guess I won't post any pics until the amber's gone.

It's a good thing this ain't a 911 forum.

Well my vote is +1 for the carbon. I love the stuff and did my whole Ducati Monster in it. It oozes performance and is functional too.

Those carbon side ducts would bring it all together!
