I say quick, but it was probably 45 mins of searching for material to use. |

There it is without the CF looking hood.
I say Greg stays as the guy with the CLEAN WHITE R32 GTR instead of all CFy... heh
And thanks for the comment, photoshop + Cars = great way to spend a Sunday. |

| if you have the time can you make a stock body 350 with my color (silverstone) on a set of bronze work emotion cr-kai's and lowerd? |
|
|
| The Stig |

|

kick ass pics, thanks jamos.
yeah, i'm probably going to stick with the stock hood after seeing this. like most i agree that my car looks good all white like and such. but now i need to stretch my credit for some LMGT4's:D |

| I think CF could look good on your car if it was matched with some other pieces. With just the hood it looks a bit off. Maybe a factory style CF wing? |

Exact same thing i said. You can't pull of a all CF hood on an all white car with out some other black/carbon accents. |

| yeah, at the same time though i think one of the reasons my car looks so clean is the all white factor. if anything i might do a vented CF hood with a candy white paint job. |

The only reason to go with a carbon fiber hood on a GTR is to vent it. I don't think my CF hood weighs any less than a factory aluminum hood.
The CF hood that came with my car was not vented, so I sold it and bought a seibon jun hood. The vents probably help a little bit.
I also think I went a little overboard with the 2 tone theme. I'm contemplating painting my roof blue to match my car.

i did a test with my buddies carbon hood and from what i could tell my aluminum hood was lighter.
i like your two tone (at least in pics, still havn't seen it since the paint job) |

Adrian said something about a CF hood being 2 pounds lighter but I would think it depends on the hood. If you want to save weight you would need a dry cf hood, but I'm not looking to spend many thousands for a few pounds. Might be worth it if you go from a big steel hood though.
I like the 2 tone, just because it's different than 95% of the GTRs out there. Definitly not as clean looking as your car though. |

now you're making me blush. i can't wait to finally see your paint job this year. my car should look a little cleaner once the body work is done. and i'm doing some engine dress up in the next couple of weeks. |
