Since his car is turbo'd, I'm sure that hood relieves a lot of heat from the engine bay, so it actually has a function. A carbon hatch and lip would complete that 2-tone look.

as true as that is, ive never really liked those hoods on any car. he could be god and have a turbo the size of my house on it, but i still dont like the hood.

but a carbon hatch/lip would look really good on that

I don't like the two tone.

I do like the color and the wheels.


I'm diggin the hood, but it needs to be gloss triple black.

I love the car and the two tone.. It flows so well with the roof lines...
People should stop hating on the black roofs. NSX's have em, 240x's have em and no one says **** about them. Looks great on the gram lights.

I think the two tone looks fine just on integras it goes too far back with the hatch. That's what I don't like.

i think what he's saying is that the front bumper needs to be fitted properly... its out of alignment with the fenders.
