Are there any problems b/c of the engine being exposed? Also how hard is it to keep the paint from chipping. Any info, especially from ppl that have done this, would be helpful. Thanx.

Agreed, triangles bliah,

the 6gc is based on curves so i do not think triangles work. if you check out the GT4 hood you will see there is no straight line anywhere. I would suggest you use that for ideas. Furthermore, I strongly suggest you get a CF hood, especially the one in buying/selling section for the 2 following major reasons.

1. You keep you stock one if you change your mind
2. CF hood design almost as nice as the GT4 hood

Also, performance wise, the CF hood is much lighter than the stock one.
here is the link for the GB

Yeah, go with this

I really want this C-One to happen

i am awesome
