By the way, I vote for leaving it like it is

I checked out some of your videos, the car is absolutely badass.

Is our ripoff privatized inspection here in Pennsyltuckey supposed to check and see if it is easily visible or not??

Don't paint it....get it rapped if you want to see what it looks like another color...you can always peel it off.

I would rap the back piece CF, the piece where the exhaust pipes come out of...forgot the name......again you can always peel it off

Nice, I love the look! I always like the style hoods that extend to windshield, and this piece makes that effect. If you don't mind could you PM me who you got it from or who made it? I would kill to have this piece

I bought it from a guy, who also bought it second hand, and he said he didn't know who originally made it.

Well its absolutely sick, I definitely would like to try to have something made to look like that for sure. I like how its symmetrical on both ends and flush. Wonder if 6LE would be on board?

Do your windshield wipers still work?

The motors are still there, but no wiper arms. So no, they don't, but I don't ever put the ttops in, so rain isn't a concern for me.

No glare at all... it's actually a pretty cool look from the driver's seat... the hood is still the highest point, so it's not like it's an obstruction.

I will say, it would probably look amazing on a regular height ws6 hood as it would be flush across the back. Maybe I'll pop it on my buddy's black ws6 and see how it looks.

Sorry, I don't even know who made it to have them make more. So for now, the only way to get it is to buy it from me.

Looks insanely good !
Leave it as it is.
Contact me when you get tired of it ( which I don't expect).

I have a feeling that you won't be selling that thing any time soon. I need to get something figured out though, maybe I can have one custom made as well
