I have to concur. The hood needs paint and the tail lights have to go.

They you have a show car.

Otherwise, it looks a tad ricer the way it is.

hey, we are GERMAN over here.

Kirk,

Leave the hood naked.
I was not a fan of the CF hoods until I saw a white GT2 with one like yours. It was beautiful.

I think the car is fine just the way it is. I would not choose the tails but they work on your car.

I do agree with Bruce that the car is a tad ricer. If you look in the latest Modified magazine three of their featured cars are silver with a black carbon fiber hood and they've got one on the back cover. But those are all Japanese cars. To each their own, I personally really like the look of the carbon fiber hood (unpainted).

I do have to agree though that the tail lights are a bit much. They've just kind of grown on me, but when I first put them on I was like
If I get serious and do any car shows I would probably switch for the shows over to the tail lights that are red at the bottom and clear/white (not smoked) at the top. I'd like to see how they would look on this car. More conservative for sure, but this is hardly a conservative car...

I just got the car back from the body shop and they did an excellent job putting the Gemballa GT side skirts on. I'll get some more photos this weekend. Hopefully my Kokeln side scoops (carbon fiber again) will arrive soon. Of course you know with the additional scoops on the side the car's going to look even MORE RICE! Ha ha ha
