Real carbon fiber, one-off, windshield wiper cowl.
 
I found this on the Boosted LSX sales page, and decided to jump at it. It's a custom, one-off carbon fiber wiper cowl that gives a smooth appearance to the car.

It's made for a factory ram air hood, but since I have the ws9 outlaw, the ram air scoops sit higher, but it still looks good.

Do I leave it black, or paint it pewter to match the hood?


Here's some more pics.

Awesome piece and I'm happy to say my t-tops never go on either. I say paint it LPM!

CoreyD 06-26-2016 01:35 PM

Nice piece! I say leave it black.

Dude that thing is awesome! This is a hard one. I think it looks awesome how it is. But it will also look good painted.

I am going to vote keep it black. Final answer.

The Alchemist 06-26-2016 03:14 PM

I'm going to leave it black for now and see how it grows on me.

That's too purdy to paint. :drool:

I see you're coming up for inspection soon as well.

I hope all of these ripoff stations around here don't fail me for the LOUDLY clacking lifters (EVERYTHING else is perfect, NO dash lights, pending codes, or failed readiness monitors. :) ).

Wow, that is an amazing piece! I have mixed feelings on the look of it though, but I say leave it unpainted to match all the cf inside too.

mac62989 06-26-2016 05:11 PM

The more I see it, the more I'm jealous its a one off piece.

The Alchemist 06-26-2016 05:49 PM

Yeah, I bought it pretty much sight unseen and took a gamble and am happy I did.

jrpimp00 06-26-2016 05:57 PM

Looks weird with your hood. Would love to see it on a stock WS6 hood though

DopeFedZ 06-27-2016 02:33 AM

Looks like a quality made piece but it looks weird imo. I'd probably just paint the factory piece gloss black if that is the color you were going after.

psychosid30 06-27-2016 07:23 AM

Leave it like it is. Painting it will actually draw attention to the difference in height between the hood and cowl.

The Alchemist 06-27-2016 07:24 AM

I agree, it is meant for a stock ws6 hood, but I still love it.

Wing Zer0 06-27-2016 08:45 PM

Very niice score. I would definitely sport that on my car. Just the way it sits as well, regardless of which hood. Adds to that "in its own class" type of mod.

Bandit2000 06-27-2016 10:36 PM

Wow that looks really good! It's definitely unique.

BREWS02WS6 06-28-2016 07:31 AM

At first I was thinking paint would make it look better and sort of add another dimension to the hood. But after the videos, I think paint would make it look weird and out of place because of how much extra pewter it would add. Black kind of makes it blend in better.

ramairetransam 06-28-2016 07:55 AM

it looks odd, i dont know if i dont like it , or bc it doesnt match up with the hood . But it needs to not be gloss . I think it will look really odd pewter . Just a strange piece to me .

RidetechJosh 06-28-2016 08:37 AM

I really like it!!

The Alchemist 06-28-2016 08:52 AM

It's definitely a unique, custom piece. I just hope I don't have any legal issues with it... but we'll see what happens. I don't like that it covers over the VIN tag, but oh well.

The more I look at it, the more I like it.
