Amazing........just simply amazing.

I always like how good your photography skills make the car look

[Nissan_luver08]

CF hood...wow, that looks really nice, congrats man!

[Blackmobile]

DUDE!! now that's a nice ride!

[rjdmmfl1]

looks much better on here than it did on mendi's car for some reason...

did you paint the mesh silver or does it come silver like that?

[JVLeGa]

ESP, did u cut the middle metal piece?? i don't see it thru the grille

u have the same grille as Mehdi don't you?

btw, it all comes together amazingly!!

[AltiCoupeDriver]

The CF hood and splitter look great on the black A/C. The grille pulls it all together. Have you ever thought of painting the burger black and putting it back on? I wonder how it would look.

Carbon Fiber Hood is awesome!

One question;From what I see, The hoods have vents that are open to the engine bay.

If my car was parked in the rain, would water get into my engine bay. Would the water reach my electronics? Would my Intake take in water?

Really been wanting to get the Carbon Fiber hood but just making sure I can still go out on a rainy day with no worries

[headhunt3r]

Dayum looking good

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

LOOKS AMAZING....so this is what my car could look like......f my life i hate you......oh and please get gtr overlays for the front or something YOU NEED IT or if i can do the headlights like im hoping you WILL send me yours and i WILL make your car even sexier by painting them black and taking out that damn amber strip........btw im jealous and i may be changing my mind on what im going to do to my car lol i hate this damn site

OH AND PAINT YOUR DAMN CALIPERS YOU MAKE ME ANGRY lol bc our cars are like damn near twins lol.......not anymore though

[Coupeguy23]

very nice i like the hood

[ESP]

Thanks everyone. Every year there's gonna be somethin' new!

did you paint the mesh silver or does it come silver like that?

Actually, it is Mehdi's grille! I'm the dude that bought it from him.I painted the black surround (still have to buff it out though) as well as the mesh. I know it looks silver in the pics, but it's actually pure white.

Nope. The stock support bracket is still there. It helps that my car is black and therefore the brace is too. Also, the white mesh camouflages it pretty well. It's only in certain light that you can see it, and even then it's only if you're looking straight at it. At this point in the game, I don't think it's necessary to do Infantry's mod...

Ugh, I hate badges. I put the burger on just to see how it would look and it's just not my style. If anything goes on the front, it'll be the logo for my company (which is the sun you can see behind the watermark in the one pic...I've also got a tat of it on my neck/back). The only reason I'd considered even doing that was because I was worried about the support brace being visible...since it's not, I'm not in any rush to place anything in there.

I can't speak for ED, but VIS Racing includes a pair of molded removable panels that screw in to the underside of the hood. The one vent is directly above the tip of my intake so when I know it's gonna be raining I'll stick it back on there.I also suggest getting a hydroshield for your intake. Injen makes them and it's basically a hydrophobic condom for your cone filter. It changes the sound of your intake a bit too...

I'll try and take some pics of the underside of the hood for you in the next few days.

I absolutely hate overlays for headlights...they just seem too temporary...like a sticker......I'm going to be doing my own headlights in the next few weeks (whenever I can get a free weekend), and maybe the tails as well. I've been doing simple mods like that to headlights for the last few years, but thanks for the offer anyway bro!I was going to do the calipers last weekend but couldn't decide on what colour to go. I'm not in any rush though...

...now quit copying me.

you should paint the grill a low gloss black... you got a black car and then that grill just looks too bling bling silver or white... if it was black, it would look amazing.

[mcheddadi]

oh yeah, that looks like st8 SEX!

love the combo on your car. very very VERY good looking.

...in a large part thanks to you buddy!

[lilojoj]

beautiful! i like the grill but still not sure if i just want a grill replacement or a full fascia

[Rob.Vegan]

Looks amazing, your car is so clean you can hardly tell it's carbon fiber.

I am hoping to get this hood in the future. I can't wait now it looks sexy as hell

[dangeris]

Very Very Nice! Looks hot especially when you take pics of it!

Yes please..curious to see this "removable" panel" that you speak of. Please take pics of it from all angles

...now quit copying me.

imitation is the highest form of flattery!

[Sith LL_Coupe]

WOW... ESP... you just totally sold me on the C-Mod Grille. I'm totally going to order it when the next shipment comes out!

Congrats on a beautiful car btw. I would love to see some "non" PS photos though, just to get a more impartial look at the Grille.

[Altima1992]

you DEF have one of the nicest 2.5s...nicer than a lot of 3.5s actaully.. dont kill me(for the 3.5ers). *goes and hides*

[rjdmmfl1]

ESP... I knew it was something diffferent... painting the surround as well as the mesh REALLY makes the mesh stand out... really nice contrast..

I am once again sold on this grille... looks fantastic!

[DAAN.]

EXIF thief... lol...much better lens than the 24-105 though!

[bravey_z12]
