YaY!
I got my hood! I'm happy with it, but my friend found a flat spot. its almost like a dent. very small, but still there. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this or have worst problems when they got their hood. -------------------- Chris Malaqui

Mine looks great. You'll be able to find imperfections in anything if you look hard enough. But mine has no flat spots, bubbles, or swirl marks and I've had it for several months. It also looks GREAT in the sun!

When I first got mine it had a swirl look to it when the sun hit it just right, but after I waxed it....the swirls went away, now it looks kick ass!

Not necessarily. Swirl marks can come from a perfectly clean rag. Never, ever, dry your car with a dry towel. It will instantly do this. Even soft cotton can put small scratches in clearcoat when dry. |

I ordered a VIS hood and it had some messed up parts in the weave. I ended up having it painted. Not completely, but with racing scallops to still show off the CF and it came out great.
I should have pictures up soon. I was going to take some last night or this morning, but it started raining and has'nt stopped. --------------------  |
