Im actually ditching my CF hood and black grill this weekend and going back to stock. While i like the look of my car... im not enjoying the attention it brings. I havent gotten hassled by cops, but the ricers that are all over the road annoy me. Even before I had the CF hood people tried to race me... but with the hood it seems to be 10x more than before. But I drive like a granny when im just commuting back and forth to work and such. So... back to stock it is just for some piece of mind.
Yeah I guess that's the advantage of FL, I run summer tires all year round. That's good though, going back to stock on the hood. I never really liked exposed carbon hoods, they seem to be a staple of ricers, almost as bad as fart cans and wings.
