I dont like the flemzy few layer fiberglass, When I can put on a carbon hood and its stronger then the factory and weighs less then the 2 layer fiberglass...

    But im 24 yrs old, My dad is 50 and he doesnt like it... He says something every time he comes to town and looks at the hood on my Cobra and WRX...
    My dads 47 and loves cf. Its all preferance. Plus cf can be painted to any color with the rest of the car if you don't like the looks.

    This is my 1968 Chevelle SS 396 car. Bought the shell for $2,000 and built the L88 427 from a 454 block I had and parts I've gotten from swap meets. It has a Borg-Warner Super T10 4-speed. Painted it myself and I'm in less that $4,000 on the whole car New cars are alright, but theres nothing like classic muscle cars IMO. LOVE banging gears in my baby.

    I race time attack in an 08 Subaru WRX which i also DD (very VERY reluctantly). I've done more things to it then i care to list, but the highlights are built motor, Blouch 20G-XT turbo, External Wastegate, Stoptech Big Brake Kit, Lots of cooling stuff, Tein Coilovers, every bushing possible, Sparco Evo 2 Plus seat, and an Autopower 4 point Race Rollbar. It makes 365 AWHP and 390 lb-ft of torque on E85 which isn't colossal, but its definitely about as much as the car can use without significant aero work.







    Runs Yokohama A005 Non-DOT slicks on track.

    Looks like a lot of domestic stuff in here. Hopefully i don't get chewed out too bad.

    Eh, nobody said my Audi was lame, and it has dreams where your WRX has mods.
    Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!
