Yeah. A little polishing before ceramic coat will be done. Wanted to give the paint time to properly off gas as long as possible. However, I think it looks great currently. Thank you for the compliment.
Update: Final product back from paint. Will update the thread again once it is installed. I am currently renovating my entire garage, this is interior "warm" lighting. Tell me what you guys think. The underside is paint match white as well.
Bro, I have to ask. Are you a vendor? Crazy to beleive you keep having all these high end Japanese items for sale BNIB. Unless perhaps, you are truly that indecisive with very deep pockets. 😅 GLWS

Ahhh yes, the other Japanese made experience that is kept in the shadows. Feeling that pain bro. I love Japan. Been there. The community just needs to bring down that ultra high pedestal.
Okay thank you for clarifying. Ok I thought the airbox is what you meant but I wanted to make sure. Never really thought about that. Will consider.
Regarding the center vent. This was my original idea until the painters shot it down when they observed those 4 milky dots on the peaks of both...
Need your help deciding what to do with this hood. Make your choice and dont forget to vote via the poll. Can also leave me a message on the thread. Thanks guys.
Update:
At approximately 1300 hours EST 1000 MST, I received an email from Matt at ICB Motorsports advising me that he had family friends from Germany and that they were not open on weekends. The email advised me to call him between 1400 and 1500 hours MST.
During that time, he proceeded to...
Well, I will update the thread at the close of business today what happens. They are three hours behind my time zone ans they do not open till 1000am. We shall see how they handle this via phone, as they have yet to respond to me via my detailed emails.
