The cf just seems kinda greenish yellowish not so black look to it, is it faded or just Seibon's material or what.

It is carbonfiber, so it's either faded or just the material I guess.

Alright, cause when I get a hood it is going to be a used one, not going to buy a new one, and I don't want it to look really mismatched. So I'm hoping that if I stay with Seibon that they'll all be the same color... or faded lol.

Well today I spent all day with the car. I started tp spray paint the new rear bumper black but it started to rain so it'll have to be finished tomorrow, rained alllll day. But I took advantage of the dry garage time and decided to do a little tucking. I tucked the passenger side headlight harness and also spun the battery around. With the battery backwards all the wires for the positive and such are behind the battery and unseen. I also ran new 2 awg ground. Here's some pics, turned out good. All that is elft for that side is to pull the ac, which will get rid of the lines. There is a big loom for the engine too but that'll be done eventually.


Trunk looks boss with flash, nice and dark. Emailed Seibon and they said it is that greenish yellowish greyish tint because the clear is oxidizing...


Putting it all back together and doin the battery

It's a start

I would do the drive side but it would be unnoticeable at this point. With power steering still there it is just a jumble of hoses and junk. Once power steering is out I'll do it, just need to order the stuff to loop the rack. Btw cv, did you have to pull your dash for the driver side? I was looking at pulling the whole harness in to the cabin and feeding it through the door hole but it would've been ridiculously hard to feed it through, couldn't see much. So it is all under the fuse box.
