Default Finally got my hood painted!

Finally after several months of driving my car arround with a primer black hood it if finally finished. So just for the occasion i clayed, three stepped the car. Sorry my camera sucks and does not give these pictures any justice so sorry for there quality. But in person it is beautiful and like looking into a mirror.
First there is what the car looked like before i swiched hoods.

Sorry i did not get better pictures of car before but here is the hood now.

And the back

More of the hood (sorry but the reflection fucked it up but i will take better ones after i get my new camera)

The side

The front

And another hood

What do you guys think, i going to get some rims in a few months but in not going to lower the car. I will post new pictures when i get my new camera, and i will include the engine bay picts. I have the engine covers and it looks ok.

Sand down the rear middle panel. Red and NBM looks ugly.

I like it this way, it stands out a little better and dosent have the ground effects, front and back bumpers of the ta. So people look twice to see what it is because it is different. But thanks though
