I think I should've powder coated them.

Looks great. I love those wheels.

BTW - if you ever get sick of that heat extractor hood, I'll take it off your hands.

That exact hood is the last piece of the puzzle for my car (as far as aesthetic mods go), but I just can't make myself spend as much as Specter Werkes wants for one...

No way, no powdercoat. I'm sick of seeing Vs with black/black chrome rims. Polished looks great, I'm almost ready to try and get rid of my black ones.

A lot of people want this hood, myself included, but there is a reason that you don't see a lot of them...the price is ridiculous. You take that price, and add another $400-$500 for prep and paint and you're looking at a near
$2K modification.

Looks damn nice, CCW is da ****, all others are pretenders, and no, they do not make Dubs---JFWY bling-bling suckas with the red and blue Vs.
Nice hood, calipers and upkeep, again I do not like those blue Vs, but yours is special!!!

Most of the time I like my cars--all of them--to have an understated, factory look to them. I like subtle mods that look as if the factory could have done it.

But that V is damnedably hot. Nice choice of parts and finishes.

Nice! Lose the red calipers though and lower it with some tire shine.

The hood looks nice but i think a regular cowl looks better IMO!

Ya i love the hood but the fit was not to good for the price.
