Thanks man.. actually just realized I hadn't posted my build! I keep a spreadsheet for insurance purposes with all of the info, costs, references etc just in case. Somehow I think State Farm would FREAK (if in a total car loss place) for me to be like uh yeah..car value plus $22k more please without any documentation.

I dont have an easy link for the hood as I spent like 2 months backtracking from an Aliexpress link (and a ebay listing that looked identical) in China. I finally found the manufacturer but they dont have a website for customers, as they dont normally deal direct. I bugged the @#$!#$!# out of them for a month and they agreed to work with me.

fitment and quality.. Absolutely fantastic so far! There is a little more adjusting I need to do, and will likely drill out the hole spots for the washer fluid snap in posts (very common I hear on after market CF hoods, that you drill out what you want to have, so you can customize). Looks great, and I am leaning towards my partial painted idea more and more.
