Default New DC4 Paint Job + HID Retrofit!!!

I got the car out about a week ago and got around to showing the car off.. Im very happy with it and love driving it. Plus the looks and compliments from people always help! THanks for looking
Before!!!







The HIDS are from a 2005 Saab 97-X The retro is alot harder than I thought but they look great..

I dont know what you guys dont like about the hood.. Yeah everyone is entitled to there own opinion but I think that is something different and its not just thrown on there.. It actually lines up with the front bumper line and flares out at the end.. I think I could have had a lot worse.. But i went with it not be ricey but to stand out a little and I like it.. Its not like everyother car with just a CF hood. Its stands out.

soooo everything that is different automatically looks good huh? there are some factors in that and the main factor would be that it has to flow well. it may look good to you cause its your car and your idea, but i dont like it...it throws off the flow.

I think it might've looked cool if it followed the body lines on the raised edges of the hood.
