Definitely looks better in the sun. Mind if I ask how much it cost you to get it painted? I'm assuming the rest of your car is black?

A brother of a friend of mine is painting it. He is doing a lot of work for me so I don't really have a solid number on cost.

Yes my car is black. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks guys! Yeah I have the red interior. I don't care much for it because the red leather is unforgiving and shows its age really bad. But overall I love the car.

I purchased the CDC hood this past fall, but it is waiting until the spring time to get painted. They are really nice hoods. I went to CDC and went through their stock to find a good hood with no issues. It's painted bright red right now and my car is Windveil blue, so it will be get getting painted both sides. I got quoted by a local custom shop to repaint it for just $275.

Definitely post some pics. I have been considering that style of scoop, but my only reservation is needing to make it functional and blended into the hood as I do not care for non-functional/bolt-on scoops. Regardless, it should look good
