Took a quick look at it. Gonna be a shame to paint over 95% of the CF on the other side... the sad part is could have saved a lot by choosing just the CF vent option on ICB instead of the whole top, but didn’t know at the time ?
Didn’t have time to check, but If the CF is already clear coated, Might go with it as-is for a little while, then paint later when get bored, but not sure I’d be able to get used to the mismatch CF hood look on a CW car. Heh.. would likely need to go all out and get other bits to adjust the look, then that may quickly become another rabbit hole for me lol.
Whelp, I’ve got the J’s sticker which probably costs $200+ ? Ah well live and learn, heh. Paid $2,663 and local pickup, so saved on shipping.
Do like the grill mesh comes black, and the water guard fits perfect and is easy to remove and install.
$600 for paint and clear seems like a great price. Especially if they installed the hood also for that.
Pretty sure the J’s/ICB hood doesn’t require hood pins for the track, but will need to verify. Carrying it around, guessing the hood is much lighter than OEM.
yeah the paint cost wasn't to bad, mine was $600, i actually knew about the icb version way before the j's racing version. the hood is actually made in the first molding factory in suzuka japan. Icb motorsports distributes for them i believe. and j's racing just re-lables the hood for their company
