My MSP with Wings West EVO CF Hood...

Can the hood be painted? Like the heat vents, but would like the hood to be body color and not just clearcoated.

Don't get me wrong, the carbon fiber look is slick, I just want the car to be a little more subtle.
 
my vents should be gunmetal to match my wheels within a week or so

im waiting until i get my front grills in to have them all PCd at once
 
Damn you Dr. Sound, but yeah thats what my car looks exactly except for my pics are a bit ca-ca.

ca-ca.......lol

yeah man, but he pics i posted were not of my car, they belong to slug420 :)
he's the first one i think to get the WW evo hood on MSP

your car looks awesome though
 
Yeah, I understood that Slug420 got the hood first and all. My hood didn't come with screws nor did it come with the plastic covers to prevent water from going in the engine. So I gotta figure some crap out.

how long did it take to get your hood and where did you order it from?
 
I placed my order back in May, some time after I saw the hoods at International Auto Salon. An old friend of mine that used to be sponsered by wings west was able to order it for me. My predicament is that there are four or five other owners in my town that drive orange MSP's and I'm not the one doing stupid ca-ca like driving recklessly or dangerous street racing and losing to honda civics that are not even turboed. The youngest driver of one of the four or five is like 16. But like the adult I am, I'm, teaching him control, because he has so much to learn. And the other guy I know races everyone, loses, and complains, then asks me at what revs should he be shifting at :wtf: SO basically I want my friends to say,"Hey! There goes Kenny's(AKA Sazabi) car!" I'm getting a bad name because of these people. So I needed a drastic change and I hope these other people don't get the same hood, exept for you Slug 420 your cool cause your doing a whole body kit thing and you don't live in my town, so it's all good. All I need now are hard pipes, bigger intercooler, better exhaust system, and a boost controller. But first I need money

thanks......... i have been waiting and saving and i am putting my order in tonight.... plus paying for my turbo tonight so i am happy
 
btw, did you have any or do you now have any kind of fitment issues on your hood? At first mine fit perfect, and I would latch it, and then press down on it above the latch to get it to lock. But after a few weeks with it, I popped it this one time, and when I went to close it, it was like an inch higher on one side than on the other when it was resting in the closed position. I looked at it for forever and couldnt figure it out and ended up dropping it from like 6 inches up to get it to lock since pressing down on it wasnt working anymore.

im assuming it has to be something to do with how the hood was torqued when I put it on and it must have been tweaked just a little bit to one side but I havent had a chance to really look at it.

Also, keep an eye on your bolts. I used the ones that came witht he hood to install it and when I popped my hood after a few weeks of driving 2 of the bolts were really loose from vibrations and the other ones werent too tight either
