Question Carbon Fiber Hood, and Trunk for a OB G37
Do you guys think I should get CF Hood, and Trunk for my Black G37? I am not sure if it will be a noticeable difference. Do anyone have pictures of a CF Hood and Trunk On a OB G35, or G37 they can post up? Thanks everyone

they look great on, but the fitment of the trunk lid and spoiler leave a little to be desired. be wary.

I have a small gap along the leading edge of my hood and it's about a 1/4" too low in the rear.

This weekend I will be installing shims to see if raising the rear will tighten up that gap in the front. Other than that, it fits and looks great.

Thanks to Jim at ShowStoppers!!

Hood looks sick! Great work dude. Thinking about getting one myself, but with the indents in the hood, will things like snow & rain get into the engine? Or is it covered off so nothing goes through?

I, for one, would never have this mod w/out also running hoodpins. Especially if it's a seibon hood...

I hope so...it's too bad the reviews of this hood have come back as being so poor in regards to fitting, etc.

All the hardware on the hood was placed pretty good and the fitment was better than I expected. Working with bike, race bodies for years I never expect anything to fit right, I was more than happy with the quality. I had planned on using Top Secret hood pins but decided it was overkill after I saw how well it latched.

There were no rain/snow gaurds with this hood. If I decide I need them I will just make a set.

Again, I just want to say thanks to Jim over a Show Stoppers, great quality and fast service.

Oh yeah, you do have to get your own bolts to mount the hood, cost me $0.98 with washers
