Default V POWER hood pics on various cars

There should be more Vs ordering KDI Whipples, there should be more V owners logging their IATs and realizing the lack of convection is robbing them of HP, and there should be more V owners wanting a more muscular look. With as much as Cadillac has advertised this ride... I'm always surprised when bystanders actually notice the hood. I'll get a vid of the heat pouring out of the back at idle... if you've done back to back dyno pulls, you'll see the power drop! Power UP!

To the guys who painted their carbon fiber hoods to match their bodies: Thank You. Coming from the subie world, CF left unpainted is one of my pet peeves.

My new one gets picked up tomorrow but it has the ZL1 style cf exposed in the middle. I can't wait to see it in person.

It looks kinda goofy & sexy at the same time. I think it really sets off that red one! Nice.

I wanted to leave some of the carbon fiber exposed but had them spray the red mid coat across it before clear coating it. Turned out amazing. If you look at how dark it looks in the first pic vs. the second picture below, you can see how visible the red cast is in the right light angle but most of the time it looks dark.



















CF inner (cool blower glare... just the wrong blower lol)


soon to V's splitter (had them build it up opposed to having the triple lip in there)


finished product of the lower area cut out and vogue grill inserted... you can see it more than doubles the amount of air that will get in fresh to the filter
