Varis CF Hood Install and paint

[toyrocket]

Hello all!

Thought I would share the install and paint of my Varis CF hood. I ordered from VividRacing back in October 2019 and received it approximately 8 months later (last month in June). Due to the high demand and Covid issue, it took a LITTLE longer than expected.

She’s getting ready for paint. I’ll post update pics shortly.

Believe me, I had the same struggle deciding whether to paint or not. I just hope the end result gives me piece of mind??

Juan @rnjcustoms is the owner. He specializes on restoring and painting old-school jaguars. His workmanship is top-notch. I don’t know where you’re located but if you’re in the SoCal area feel free to stop by ??

FANFUCKINTASTIC BROTHER!!
I was a skeptic of the paint and you changed my mind with leaving those unpainted sections!

It's different that's for sure, once your car is all put back together I may like it more.

Did they paint your fenders as well to blend the paint colour with the hood?
