Does the fitment bother you at all?

Not at all our supplier the base of g30/f90 hood. My only complaint is that it is not double sided however that was an extra option!

This is why I mentioned fitment, also gloss cf and matte wrap doesn't look the best.

Ahhhh I totally forgot to update this!
So yes I agree with those saying matte and gloss looked ugly, however I did have a vision! This is the final form |

Fitment is good, that little part that’s off was error due to us being lazy. So we have to re-align the hood properly but that did not bother me enough to redo it!
Also thank you Al we sell these hoods from our supplier! Will have a website hopefully soon to redirect to! And also the vents are positioned on the chassis where the electrical are not affected. The hood also comes with covers from the inside to protect the internals! |

You have any side profile shots with the gloss black 759 wheels? I'm thinking of refinishing mine as I'm not a fan of the machined face finish on my car.

As you’ve asked…
Mmm doesn’t work for me, looks gimmicky And my thoughts were as mentioned previously about what happens when it rains? Don’t really want water getting into engine compartment ideally |
