I like it. It'll probably help keep some water out of there too. BTW just curious, but how light is your hood? lol

do you have extra material by chance ? i would make another set if you do and color match them and then see which ones look better
or you can just paint your whole car black so its less noticeable lol

Eventually I'm gonna paint the hood, I figured I would run around in carbon for a while to get my rice on. When the hood is painted I think it eyebrows will look better, then it will just be a little detail instead of a bunch of carbon.

I use poster board to make templates. It has some body so you can even bend shapes to it almost like metal.
Trans am...I don't have anymore recent pics. These are kinda old.

Well take some more! x2 on the pics, looks pretty good. I don't really care for the cf look but it looks like its ok, hard to tell from the pic though cause you can't see it all. Nice work, i've always hated that gap.. wtf chevy.

I did'nt do the carbon for the look. Everything has a function.The hood is less weight and i will eventually paint it. the eyebrows close a gap and I have a sheet of carbon that's easy to work with. The carbon grill/headlight covers stops a pile of air from gettin packed under the hood.
